Ahimsa refers to Non-injury<ref name=":2" /> or Non-violence.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":5" /> It prohibits people from indulging in violence against other living beings.<ref name=":5" /> However, the violence or injury referred to here doesn't apply only to physical injuries. It is said that ahimsa should be practised not just in action but in speech and thought as well. The Kurma Purana says,
Ahimsa: It literally means non-violence or noninjury. But, here the violence or injury referred to is not applicable only to bodily injuries. Ahimsa should be practised in action, speech, and thought.19 Himsa or violence in action refers to causing physical harm to others. It may be harm to a human, animal, insects, plants, or any other living organism. Any physical action that causes harm or imposes pain on any living being is considered violent action. Similarly, words that cause mental agony to others or words that are intended to act as curses that create imbalance in the surroundings are violent speech. And finally any thought about harming others either physically or mentally is violent thought. Hence, the practice of ahimsa includes non-injury to other living beings through action, speech, and thought.<ref name=":7" />
