Harmless Creature
Srila Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Goswami Maharaja
So, a devotee means a harmless creature. He will do no harm to human beings, no birds, no beasts, no insects, noneless. He is always following ahimsa paramo dharma. That is ahimsa: one should not harm any animal, any beast, any bird, physically or mentally and quarreling also; never harms. He follows trinad api sunicena. He considers himself that I am the humbler than blade of grass. I must not harm anybody.
