HARMLESSNESS

Harmfulness is based on selfishness, and on an egocentric attitude. It is the demonstration of forces concentrated for self-enforcement, self-aggrandizement, and self-gratification.

Harmlessness is the expression of the life of the one who realizes their self to be everywhere, who lives consciously as a soul, whose nature is love, whose method is inclusiveness, and to whom all forms are alike in that they veil and hide the light, and are all but externalizations of the one infinite being.

Harmlessness brings about in life caution in judgment, reticence in speech, ability to refrain from impulsive action, and a demonstration of a non-critical spirit. It will lead to that silence of the tongue which grows out of non-reference to the separate self.
