Nonviolence (Ahimsa)-not to cause harm to any living beings
Truthfulness (Satya)-to speak the harmless truth only
Non-stealing (Asetya)-not to take anything not properly given
Chastity (Brahmacharya)-not to indulge in sensual pleasure
Non-possession/Non-attachment (Aparigraha)-complete detachment from people, places, and material things
