According to Osho, violence is not only physical harm; in the relative world every act of coercion—overt or disguised as goodness—carries violence. Pure, nonviolent means belong to the ideal; on earth, means are inevitably impure. Wisdom is to act consciously, choose the least crooked, least violent means, and avoid moralistic self-deception.
Violence isn’t just hitting—whenever we push, trick, or pressure others it’s a kind of violence, so in real life we try to do the least harm and be honest about it.
