Vibrations of love
"I could not kill a cobra without violating two of my vows - fearlessness, and non-killing. I would rather try inwardly to calm the snake by vibrations of love. I cannot possibly lower my standards to suit my circumstances."
With his amazing candor, Gandhi added, "I must confess that I could not carry on this conversation were I faced by a cobra!" :)Yogananda - Autobiography of a Yogi
