अहिंसाप्रतिष्ठायां तत्सन्निधौ वैरत्यागः ॥ २.३५॥

ahiṃsāpratiṣṭhāyāṃ tatsannidhau vairatyāgaḥ .. 2.35..

35. Non-killing being established, in his presence all enmities cease (in others).

Commentary on Sri Patanjali Yogasutra by Swami Vivekananda

If a man gets the ideal of non-injuring others, before him even animals which are by their nature ferocious will become peaceful. The tiger and the lamb will play together before that Yogi. When you have come to that state, then alone you will understand that you have become firmly established in non-injuring.
