fellow creatures. Peaceful co-existence is the only
way of existence in this world.
However, a peaceful life can be achieved only when
human beings learn what their limitations ought to
be. According to the Divine law, you can take from
the world whatever will satisfy your need—not
your greed. You may do business with others but
you may not exploit them. You may also establish
your individuality, but not at the cost of the family
and society. In daily existence, you may lead your
life by maintaining social structures and tradition
and not by destroying them. You have the freedom
to lead your own life, but by caring in the process
for the rest of your society and not by neglecting it.
Resources may be utilized for the benefit of
humanity, but not for the sake of exploitation. You
are free to use peaceful methods, but you are not
entitled to use violence. You can make use of
nature, but only by maintaining its balance: the
equilibrium of nature must never be upset. You
have the freedom to use nuclear energy for peaceful
purposes, but not to manufacture destructive
weapons. You are at liberty to nurture feelings of
love and compassion, but not to give way to hatred
