Summary

This quote suggests that only a belief in eternal values and principles can provide a rational explanation for advocating non-violence in the modern world. In a time that often prioritizes instant gratification and short-term gains, embracing a philosophy rooted in the long-term perspective of eternity can provide individuals with a moral framework conducive to practicing non-violence. Such a philosophy may emphasize the importance of cultivating lasting peace, harmony, and respect for the dignity of all beings, even when faced with conflicts or challenges.
