Harmlessness does not mean refraining from killing: one can kill many without killing. In order to kill a person one does not need to murder him; a glance, a word, a thought can kill a person, and that is worse torture than death. It is this experience that will make us say, &#8217;My very feet, be conscientious lest you tread on the thorns lying on your path, lest they complain: You have crushed me&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>There is no end to consideration once a person begins applying this principle. If there is any religion it is in having consideration for everyone: earnestly to consider what feeling can be touched by a moment&#8217;s mistake. If there is any abode of God it is in the heart of man. If the heart is touched wrongly it has an effect upon destiny, and we do not know to what extent.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wahiduddin.net\/mv2\/XIV\/XIV_7.htm\">from\u00a0\u00a0http:\/\/wahiduddin.net\/mv2\/XIV\/XIV_7.htm<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~~~ The heart of every man, both good and bad, is the abode of God, and care should be taken never to wound anyone by word or act.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan In order to awaken love and sympathy in our hearts, sacrifices must be made.
