In practical terms the biggest part that ahimsa plays in the lives of lay Jains today is in the regulation of their diet.

Human beings can be divided into three categories: Those who think about the future, those who think about the present and those who think about the past. Looking at the past and thinking about it is nothing very great. Review of the past may be useful in giving a certain turn to one’s activities or style of working. But being obsessed with the past does not bring any benefit. Anyone can see something lying at his feet. Whether someone is capable of thinking or not, it is natural for him to look
