saying, no,no this is not the practical way of living, the practical way of living is to kill the person first. Whoever is opposing you, don’t be one with him but try to exploit him. If he is very mild try to make best use of that fellow, this is what we have been told. A situation of trying to exploit, that is not our truthful nature.
