उत्तर
- Ahimsa, or non-violence, is the most important principle of Jainism. It means not causing harm to any living being, in thought, word, or deed.
- Jains believe that all living beings have a soul (atma) and that hurting any creature causes harm to the soul.
- Therefore, they avoid killing or injuring not only humans and animals but also insects and tiny organisms.
- True Ahimsa means kindness, compassion, and respect for all forms of life.
- Jain monks and followers are very careful in their actions; some even cover their mouths and sweep the ground before walking to avoid harming small creatures.
