Hinduism is not a codified religion.

Not to have control over the senses is like sailing in a rudderless ship, bound to break to pieces on coming in contact with the very first rock.

Personally I crave not for 'independence', which I do not understand, but I long for freedom from the English yoke.

Any act of injury done from self-interest, whether amounting to killing or not, is doubtless himsa.

My dharma teaches me to give my life for the sake of others without even attempting to kill.

"Do not worry in the least about yourself, leave all worry to God" this appears to be the commandment in all religions.

My nonviolence demands universal love, and you are not a small part of it.
