 Another aspect that provides a rationale to the avoidance of "hiṃsā" is that, any acts of "himsā" results in "himsā" to self.Any act of violence though outwardly is seen to harm others, harms the soul of the person indulging in the act.Thus by an act of violence, a soul may or may not injure the material vitalities known as of someone else, but always causes injury to its own "bhāva praṇa" or the psychic vitalities by binding the soul with "karmas".
