7. NEVER KILL
Never kill the helpless flies. Never kill also the mosquitoes. Never kill bugs and lices.
What is their guilt ? What is your punishment to them?
They do not take away your life, Then how can their life be taken ?
Their intention is not to kill you, They are ignorant and humble insects.
While moving here and their, they happen to sit on your body, and they 1
try to seek food there.
While going on your way, if you injure someone unknowingly but he takes out the knife and hits you.... then what will you feel at that time?
Justice or injustice ?
Injustice. Well !
Then by mistake, some insects may come to your house or sit on your
body, and you kill them ! Then is it justice or injustice ?
