Sometimes religious leaders say, "you have to experience it to know it. Without the experience you can't know. It can't be explained." This is a half truth. You do need the experience to know something, but the explanation is equally important. This is the explanation: Speak the truth, and be kind. Those are absolute imperatives. The experience of this proves its validity. If you don't wish to prove the validity of nonviolence and honesty, then simply don't try them out. However, if you wish for metaphysical certitude then you should try out the correct things. These are the correct things.
