The General Nature Of Mercy
Mercy generally means not to infict pain on any living
creature. Observers of supreme and perfect mercy are those noble people have
given up all the worldly activities and have adopted full time spiritual
life (Sadhana). However, the ordinary people can also resort to mercy
to the best of their ability.
The General Order Of Observance Of Mercy
If we are vigilant in daily life, whether in social,
domestic, or business affairs, we can certainly save many innocent lives from destruction. We can prevent
violence on the lives of ants, fies, bugs, cockroaches and such other
small insects, if we are alert while we eat, drink, bathe, cook, arranging our books and other things.
If we become merciful towards these small insects, how can
we possibly become cruel towards big animals like cows,buffaloes, dogs, sheep, goats, donkeys, horses and even
human beings? Human being is considered superior of all life forms.
