We shouldn't harm any innocent living creatures for what ever reason (humans exceptional)
Once a saint with his disciple bathing in a river, there comes a scorpion who was drowning, Saint saves him but the scorpion bites the saint, scorpion falls in the water& drowns, once again the saint trys to save him, scorpion stings once again & falls, this happened 4/5 times & his disciple was observing this situation. He said to his saintly gurudev. Guruji you should have killed the little creature because he left his sting on you everytime you tried to save him.
Guruji replied- Son, the nature of the scorpion is to bite & the nature of we human is to save. This little creature can't leave his original nature which is to bite so why should I leave my nature which is to save?
The nature of the mosquito is to suck blood, nature of the rats is to wander in our house but humans nature is not to kill them. If there are mosquitoes we can keep our house clean or use nets for protection & such alternatives. every living creature are part& parcel of god same like we humans.
Lesson from gurudev (param pujya Sri Radha Govind Maharaj)
