This thread sooooo reminds me of a Sufi story, which I hope will be
illuminating; (I'm not saying there are exact parallels):

     It is related that a certain Sufi master was walking in the desert
with some people in whom covetousness was still strong.
     They begged him to tell them the secret Word by which he restored the
dead to life. But he said "If I tell you this secret, you will abuse it."
     But they persisted, saying they were ready and fitted for such
knowledge, and saying also that it would reinforce their faith.
     Again the Teacher refused. But the students persisted, and eventually
he gave them what they asked for.
     Soon afterwards, these people were walking in a deserted place when
they saw a heap of whitened bones. "Let us make a trial of the Word" they
said to each other, and they did so.
     No sooner had they uttered the Word than the bones became clothed with
flesh and were transformed back into a wild beast, which tore them to
shreds.
