Hatredness

1.     Bless men, when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing you; they can only hurt themselves. Go where people hate you, let them thrash the ego out of you and you will get nearer to the Lord. Like the mother-monkey, we hug our ‘baby’, the world, as long as we can, but at last when we are driven to put it under our feet and step on it then we are ready to come to God. Blessed it is to be persecuted for the sake of righteousness.

2.     We ought not to hate anyone. This world will always continue to be a mixture of good and evil. Our duty is to sympathies with the weak and to love even the wrongdoer. The world is a grand moral gymnasium wherein we have all to take exercise so as to become stronger and stronger spiritually.

3.     Hate not the most abject sinner, look not to his exterior.

4.     None can hate others without degenerating himself.

5.     No man can hate another and live.

6.     It is ignorance that makes us hate each other, it is through ignorance that we do not know and do not love each other.

7.     Love them that hate you.

8.     Hatred is a thing which greatly impedes the course of Bhakti; and the man who hates none reaches God.

9.     Differentiation, infinitely contradictory, must remain, but it is not necessary that we should hate each other therefore; it is not necessary therefore that we should fight each other.

10.  Do not hate anybody, because that hatred which comes out from you must, in the long run, come back to you. If you love, that love will come back to you, completing the circle.

11.  Our first duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God.

12.  The power of suffering is infinitely greater than the power of doing; the power of love is infinitely of greater potency than the power of hatred.

13.  Every one must be ready for it-------------------the conquest of the whole world by India-----------------nothing less than that, and we must all get ready for it, strain every nerve for it……………. Up, India, and conquer the world with your spirituality! Ay, as has been declared on this soil first, love must conquer hatred, hatred cannot conquer itself.
