Thought for the Day

Learn to do good things with the body; contemplate about good things with your mind. Cultivate good thoughts and perform good deeds. Sometimes, people ask: “Yes, we should learn to love everyone, but what should be done if the other person hates us in spite of our loving them so much?” Why should you be bothered whether others reciprocate your love or not? Your duty is to see that you do not swerve from the right path. If you also hate, how can you claim that you are still good? Endeavour your best to influence and transform others, but do not swerve from being good. I will give an example with Myself as the basis: I love everyone — I love even those who do not love Me. I do not ask whether they are loving Me or not. We must see whether our love is pure or not. Hatred has no place at all in Me. People who do not want Me also come to Me when need arises and bend before Me. To delve deep and experience true love, you must shed all bodily considerations, and cultivate Universal Vision (Atma drishti).
