The Five Sacred Principles
The fundamental pillars of righteous living as taught by Bhagwan Aranath
Ahimsa - Non-Violence
The cornerstone of Aranath’s teachings, Ahimsa extends beyond physical harm to encompass mental and emotional non-violence. It teaches us to protect and nurture all forms of life.
“Violence in thought, word, or deed creates karmic bondage. True liberation comes through absolute compassion for all living beings.”
- Physical non-violence towards all creatures
- Mental purity and peaceful thoughts
- Emotional harmony and understanding
Satya - Truthfulness
Satya illuminates the path to spiritual clarity. It encompasses honesty in speech, authenticity in action, and alignment with universal truth.
“Truth is the light that dispels the darkness of ignorance. Speak truth that heals, not truth that harms.”
- Honest communication and speech
- Authentic living and genuine behavior
- Alignment with cosmic truth
Asteya - Non-Stealing
Asteya transcends material theft to include respect for others’ time, energy, and intellectual property. It cultivates contentment and generosity.
“When we cease taking what is not ours, all treasures present themselves to us naturally.”
- Respect for others’ possessions
- Honoring time and energy of others
- Cultivating contentment and gratitude
Brahmacharya
Brahmacharya involves the wise use of vital energy, channeling it towards spiritual growth and self-realization rather than dissipating it in worldly pursuits.
“The one who conserves and channels vital energy walks steadily on the path to divine realization.”
- Conservation of vital energy
- Moderation in all aspects of life
- Channeling energy towards spiritual goals
