Important Ten Commandments
So, let's take the Ten Commandments and examine them one by one, comparing each with the corresponding evil deed.
• Murder
What is murder?
The commandment "do not kill" includes killing and injuring living beings. And this is not limited to people only - you can not kill any living beings, even small insects. In addition, in recent years, abortion has become a common thing. No doubt abortion is murder, and killing a child with whom you have the deepest karmic connection becomes a very big bad karma ...
The work of the soul that underlies
Nowadays, there are many means for killing, and everyone commits murders as something self-evident, calling it "the extermination of harmful insects." From the point of view of people this is considered a good thing, but from the point of view of insects it is extremely unreasonable. Called by people "pests", insects were not born to be killed, life was given to them just like people. No one wants to be killed. Everyone wants to live a long time and does not want to die. We indifferently force others to experience suffering, which they themselves would not like to experience for anything.
For the murder there is such a pollution of the soul as indifference to other people's sufferings, when you make a distinction between yourself and others and cruelly treat the weak for your own benefit. When we kill sentient beings, our soul does not become warmer, it becomes cold.
The result is returned in the form of pain
Murder not only increases vicious feelings and makes the soul unstable, but also really returns to us in the form of pain. When we commit murder, then, naturally, we are hated, and the vibrations of the pain and suffering brought by others are absorbed by ourselves. And then come back in the form of pain. And the continuation of these sufferings will be the World of Hell. If we were driven by anger, it would be Hot Hell, if callousness is Cold Hell, and if we caused pain to the object - Hell of Pain. And the suffering and pain that we experience in Hell is nothing but the suffering and pain caused by ourselves.
When you kill or harm other beings, what kind of work does the soul experience in this?
Do you want to protect yourself? And maybe you do not care what happens to others because of your fault? Or do you want all living beings, all people, to become happy?
As in the proverb "the fisherman of the fisherman sees from afar", the soul of those who kill, or those who view other creatures as inanimate objects, attract people with the same qualities. Will this make them happy or unhappy?
Therefore, the command "not to kill" is not only intended to preserve the lives of beings around us. It exists also to make those who observe this commandment happy. This practice will also give you kindness - kindness, which brings other peace in the true sense.
