What should we do to truly practice the principle of universal love?
Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.
Advesta Sarva Bhutanam (bear no ill-will against living being), Sarva bhuta hite ratah (always engage in promoting the well being of all beings), Samah shatrau cha mitre cha cha
(consider foe and friend alike) - jewels like these contained in the
Gita, are, as known to all, pointers to the need for Universal Love. By
declaring that man shall not bear ill-will towards the entire world of
living beings, the Gita is positing a lesson with invaluable inner
meaning that in all beings and even in all things, there is a moving,
revolving, and active illumining Principle which is the Divine,
appropriately called as Atma. It is a wrong against God, this
omnipresent Divine, to hate living beings, to injure them; that is to
say, it is as bad as hating and injuring oneself - the reason being that
the injurer is as much a living being with God as his core, as the
injured.
- Divine Discourse, Jul 29, 1969.
