Spiritual learning (vidya) instructs you to remember yourself first. After transforming yourself, try to reform others: that is the advice offered by spiritual knowledge. The delusive attachment to the objective world can be uprooted by means of selfless service rendered as worship to the Lord. Devotion to the motherland, love of the motherland — these are to be reckoned as far less than love and devotion towards all mankind. Genuine spiritual devotion (bhakti) is characterised by love for all, at all times, everywhere. The characteristic of nature is “to manifest as manifold”; the characteristic of the Divine is “to absorb into unity”. So, those who dislike or hate another or demean and denigrate another are indeed fools, for they thereby dislike, hate, demean or denigrate only themselves! But they are unaware of this truth. Spiritual knowledge instructs one to become established in this truth and demonstrate the underlying Divinity.
