March 26 Tip: An Invitation to Nonviolence from Swami Sivanda

March 26 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace

An invitation to nonviolence


If anyone speaks ill of you,
Praise them always.
If anyone injures you,
Serve them nicely.
If anyone persecutes you,
Help them in all possible ways.
You will attain
Immense strength.
You will control
Anger and pride.
You will enjoy
Peace, poise and serenity.
You will become divine.
--Swami Sivanda
