LOVE THY ENEMY: HOW?

Holy bible advises us to love our enemy. Gita too, exhorts us to treat our friends and enemies alike and impartially. These words of guidance arise from one root that there are no enemies. Anybody who tries to thwart our efforts is not necessarily an enemy. Two points arise from this: one, our so called enemy is trying level-best to inform us about our flaws which need to be set right; second he also reflects his own flaws that need to be attended. Basically, selfishness coupled-to-ego is the usual cause which takes a deadly form  of enmity. Budha, Jesus and Gandhi tried  to deal with this problem with love, compassion and non-violence. Once our so-called enemy is convinced that we truly love him/her, life on earth shall automatically become what we expect it to be in paradise.

KNOWLEDGE VERSUS REALIZATION

Knowlege, even of ten heads put together, if not dedicated to truth can only lead one to become a demon like Raavan.

With the passage of time, religions may be reduced to mythology, but God shall continue to be the same changeless ever-relevant eternal Truth. Thus, religions rarely ever groom for a tryst with God.

Maturity of mind is reflected from our admiring the variety of people/life around and enjoying us being an integral part of this variety. It is thus hightime, that selfish people stop dividing and inciting people in the name of God.

As we like our own qualities in others, best strategy is to see our own image in all living-beings. As long as we relish own superiority to our peers, we remain within the realm of relativity, and thus cannot realize our infinite nature.

The sole purpose of wisdom is to enable us to realize our liminations, as the pride of imperfections is the malaise known as ego.

Failure is a virtual success provided one repeats the efforts sincerely to correct the mistakes committed. Easy success may only fuel the ego.

All activity in this world is inching us towards self-realization - whether we know or not - those who know, dedicate it to God and realize Him.

Always keep in mind that any alternative to truth is only an apology.
