Rejecting the Suspicion That the Spiritual Genius Might Commit Offenses Driven by Passion

1. Love at the Depth of Marrow

The spiritual genius carries, in the very marrow of her being,
a love for all creatures as fierce and tender
as the love a parent has for an only child.
This is not sentiment—it is instinct, nature, and vow fused together.
Because this love saturates her entire being,
her presence is always beneficial,
no matter where she goes or what conditions she enters.
Offenses born of passion are impossible
when one’s entire being has become compassion.

2. Why Passion Cannot Lead to Offense in the Spiritual Genius

She works ceaselessly for the welfare of beings;
therefore passion cannot drive her into harm.
Her energies—whether fierce or gentle—
move in one direction only: toward benefit.

And hatred?
Even the possibility is absent.
Hatred for any being is blocked at the root,
precluded by a heart that has renounced self-interest
and embraced the whole world as its field of responsibility.

What appears to others as “passion”
is, in her case, simply compassion with momentum.

3. The Example of the Pigeon

Consider a pigeon fiercely devoted to her young:
her instinct to protect them is so strong
that anger against them can never arise.
Her intensity does not generate harm—
it generates guardianship.

So too with the spiritual genius.
Because she sees all beings as her children—
not symbolically, but viscerally—
anger toward them is impossible.
Her intensity of love exceeds even the pigeon’s,
and therefore her actions, no matter how forceful,
never turn harmful.

4. Love as the Dissolver of All Offenses

Where there is love, the seed of anger cannot sprout.
Where there is peace, malice cannot operate.
Where there is benefit, deceit loses its function.
Where there is comforting, intimidation cannot exist.

These qualities—love, peace, benefit, comfort—
do not merely suppress harmful states;
they eliminate the conditions that give rise to them.

Thus, the spiritual genius does not avoid offense through restraint
but through nature transformed.
Her compassion dissolves anger,
her serenity dissolves malice,
her beneficence dissolves deceit,
her nurturing dissolves intimidation.

In this way, the suspicion that she might err through passion
is revealed as misunderstanding her passion itself—
for her passion is compassion,
and compassion cannot produce offense.
