That is Kamma niyama.Or none will be saved if a bomb blasted near him. It is Dhamma Niyama -A principle of Nature. I accept both and why should I be afraid making a mental picture. Metta won't save my physical body if I have done a bad Karma of killing or planning to kill... but My next birth would be a good one if I really have Metta. Otherwise Nature will save me by making me quicker or slower to miss the bomb. Mettanisansa Sutta."Monks, eleven advantages are to be expected from the release (deliverance) of heart by familiarizing oneself with thoughts of loving-kindness (metta), by the cultivation of loving-kindness, by constantly increasing these thoughts, by regarding loving-kindness as a vehicle (of expression), and also as something to be treasured, by living in conformity with these thoughts, by putting these ideas into practice, and by establishing them. What are the eleven? 1. He sleeps in comfort.2. He awakes in comfort.3. He sees no evil dreams. 4. He is dear to human beings.5. HE IS DEAR TO NON-HUMAN BEINGS 6. Devas (gods) protect him.7. FIRE, POISON, SWORD CANNOT TOUCH HIM8. His mind can concentrate quickly.9. His countenance is serene. 10. He dies without being confused in mind. 11. If he fails to attain arahantship (the highest sanctity here and now), he will be reborn in the brahma-world."
