Even if a poor person is hurt, such a thought arises in our heart that God is all-knowing. He, remaining in one place, knows the hearts of all. Therefore, He must be residing in the heart of the one we hurt. Then we have committed an offense against God.

And again, we thought and saw that, These are both plus points. They are not contradictory points. And despite the contradiction, they are points that meet and merge into each other. So, to separate them and, having separated them, to protect them properly, is very difficult. At times, which one to protect, not wanting to abandon either, only when one has such a vow from within, does it happen, right?
