Avihimsa means non- harm and Akrodaya means non-ill-will. This means the setting aside of certain unwholesome qualities such as enmity, anger, ill-will, jealousy, envy, hatred, fear and resentment. It means the development of certain wholesome qualities (the four divine abidings) namely kindness, compassion, joy at others well-being, equanimity and non-harm. One has to be kind and compassionate towards other beings. One has to be happy at the well-being of others, as opposed to being jealous, and has to be equanimous, when the occasion requires it.
