Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid
- Attr. Albert Einstein
Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
Everything is worthy of kindness.
The quote is not literal. The Divine is an animating force of Love.
What he is alluding to is that faith should not be 'inactive' i.e. just vain repetition of prayers and the like, it should be a living faith brought 'alive' and expressed by loving acts of Service.
Akin to 'Faith without charity (loving kindness) is dead. Love is the fulfilling of the Law.'
Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
Everything is worthy of kindness.
