My junior is annoying me and not doing its work. For his lethargic tendencies, I am on the verge to lose my job. Can i hit my junior with my car
Answer
No. In Jain Dharma, you should never harm your junior with your car or in any other way.
Hitting someone intentionally is violence, and Jain Dharma strongly teaches Ahimsa — non-violence in thought, speech, and action.
Explanation
Your frustration may be understandable, especially if your job is at risk. But harming another person will create serious consequences:
- It is against Jain principles.
- It can cause injury or death.
- It can lead to legal punishment.
- It will increase anger, karma, and inner disturbance.
Instead, take non-violent and practical steps:
- Document the work issues clearly.
- Communicate with your junior calmly and firmly.
- Inform your manager or HR with evidence.
- Ask for responsibilities to be clarified in writing.
- If you feel you may lose control, physically leave the situation immediately.
Spiritual Understanding
In Jain Dharma, anger and violence bind harmful karma. Even when someone behaves irresponsibly, our duty is to protect our own conduct. True strength is not in hurting someone, but in controlling anger and choosing the path of restraint.
Takeaway
Do not harm your junior. Step away, calm yourself, document the issue, and escalate it through proper channels. Ahimsa protects both the other person and your own soul.
