violence brings one farther from God 99 percent of the time. this is why brahmins are prohibited from it. this is why yudhishthira tried everything to avoid the kurukshetra war.

@georgia in a contest between violence and prayer, experience shows which of the two tends to stop hostile actors.

@amy @lizzie I think john Brown's actions were dharmic but that doesnt mean the violence brought him closer to God. they were good karma, but they mustve imprinted bad samskaras on him associated with violence still. so its a mixed affect as far as getting closer to God goes. and its also debatable that any action not surrendered to God brings one away from God, even good deeds, because it continues samsaric existence. this is hindu-loaded sorry lol

@icedquinn @georgia i think the point is that closeness with god is not normally linked with stopping hostile actors
