意味
Compassion is the most important.
文化的背景
The concept of 'Jiv-daya' (compassion for life) is a pillar of Jainism, which has a massive influence on Gujarati culture. This proverb is often cited to justify the vegetarian lifestyle and animal welfare projects. Mahatma Gandhi, a Gujarati, transformed this religious proverb into a political and social tool for non-violent resistance (Satyagraha). Poet-saints like Narsinh Mehta used this idea to challenge the caste system, arguing that a person's 'Dharma' is defined by their heart, not their birth. Even secular Gujaratis use this phrase. It is common to see it written on the walls of schools and hospitals as a reminder of human values.
The 'Dharma' Nuance
Remember that 'Dharma' in this context is more about 'being a good human' than 'belonging to a church'.
The Retroflex L
To sound like a native, make sure your tongue touches the roof of your mouth for the 'L' in 'Mool'.
