The core belief ABOUT ahimsa according to MMY is that it is NOT a belief or= a practice, but an inevitable result of samadhi, and that it radiates from the enlightened = person to the rest of the world, and that there is an N^2 effect generated by group medit= ation.

That why invincibility is a myth. It's a selling point based on a falsehood. Actually what Patanjali says is that ahimsa goes into your surroundings. In many cases what that means is, if your neighbor hasn't done the same thing, he'll come over and kick the crap out of you.
