second Story from Follow the Master book: p. 182
Do No Harm
"If we do not cause injury or harm to any individual through mind,(!) words
and deeds, Brahman can be attained."
We should not cause injury through speech. Our acts should not harm others.
We should love our fellow beings. We should never cause mental torture to
others. We should provide them with psychological security. Fear, anger and
complexes should be avoided. We should help others to feel a sense of belonging.
The
motives and drives causing mental injury should be removed. We should speak
kind words to others. Harsh words cause them harm and they do not bring us any
good result. Polished and refined speech should be cultivated. Our actions
should please others. Sympathetic and compassionate speech gives solace to our
neighbours. Our deeds should be smooth. We should not go down to the level of
animal.
Our deeds should be noble. These acts enable us to attain Brahman." -
