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." -
