yamas
ahimsa (non-violence) - to do no harm, vegetarian, harsh words are a form of violence.
satya (truthfulness) - the truth that equals love, universal reality, unchangeable, immutable, that which has no distortion. human life goes through changes therefore it is not satya. satya is the benevolent use of words and the mind for the welfare of others.
asteya (non-stealing) - not stealing, not coveting, not hoarding, as well as not obstructing other people's desires in life.
brahmacharya (celibacy) - sexual continence - preserving and sublimating male sexual energy rather than losing it through ejaculation.
aparigraha (non-possessiveness) - limit possessions to what is necessary, absence of avaricious, non-appropriation of others things.
