Guest guest Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 A Quotation from Bhagawan -- The Gita has declared: "Bear no ill-will towards any living being" (Adveshtaa Sarvabhoothaanam). Hatred towards anyone is hatred for God. The scriptures have also declared: Sarvajiva namaskaaram Kesavam Pratigachchati (The salutation that you offer to anyone reaches the Divine). Despite variations in names and forms, there is a unity which underlies the diversity in creation. Because Nature is a reflection of the Divine, its laws cannot be transgressed by anyone. Man who has taken birth to realize his own true nature, instead of seeking to understand the truth about the cosmos, is lost in the pursuit of material possessions. He does not realize that the human body, made up of the five basic elements, is bound to perish. This temporary, perishable body should be regarded only as a means for realizing the eternal Reality. The body should be considered as an iron safe, in which the precious jewels of good qualities and good actions are kept. It is these qualities that should be cherished. If today, the state of the world appears deplorable, it is because men's actions and conduct are not good. Men should return to the ways of righteousness and lead a good and godly life. -- SSS: Vol. V; Page 324. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
