Do nothing at the expense of another.  This is quite challenging for the human being
who is ruled by the ego.  The ego sees
only separation.  He or she thinks of the
self only and takes actions that are self-centered.  “Every man for himself” is the motto that
points directly to ego.  There is little
soul growth in such an attitude, for the spiritual path is all about the
journey from ego to oneness.  Oneness
sees all as part of a whole, made up of countless souls.  These souls are not separate, but comprised
of the same indivisible Source-energy.  “Every
man for himself” becomes “Every soul for the whole” and then taking an action
that would cause harm, discomfort, or even inconvenience without agreement from
another becomes unthinkable.
