When yagnas are held, they should only be conducted without harming any beings and according to the Sampraday’s principles. (36)

Satsangis should never eat meat, even if it is considered to be the remnant of a yagna or sanctified by the deities. (37)

One should never strike another person. One should not swear, insult or commit other forms of subtle harm or injury. (38)

One should not commit violence to attain wealth, power, prestige or [to fulfil one’s desire] for a man or woman or anything else. Also, one should also not commit violence out of ego, jealousy or anger. (39)

Inflicting mental, verbal or physical violence pains Swaminarayan Bhagwan, who resides within that person. (40)
