Nitivaakyam - Day 8

                                                           Day 8



 "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you"


The only way to teach a lesson to those who curse you or hate you is to do good for them so that they can come on the right path. It is the work of our goodness and holiness to protect us and we have to protect our religion. We should never become enemies with those whom we have to protect. It is a sin to punish another person for their faults. Are we interested in forgiveness, are we interested in punishment or are we interested in love? What are we interested in?

"Love even those who hate you"

Weapons would end your enemies but love would end your enmity! The death of love is more dangerous than the death of our body. Which is more destructible? Even God is unsuccessful in saving the body but no one can be unsuccessful in saving love. There is no expiry date for Love. We have to at least try our best to save love as much as possible and whatever is in our control. We have to take an oath that we will not let our love for others end as long as we are alive. There will be no struggle if life and love become one.

"It is not important what wrong another person has done to you, but what is important is how we react to them. It is not important what a foolish person says, what is important is what a wise person has to say"

Our goodness will protect us as long as we protect our religion. It is important to do good to the one who does wrong unto you so that you can change their heart and bring them on the right path. It has never been possible for anyone in this world to stay on number one position in any field, be it the field of beauty, wealth, power or status. There has always been someone better than us. In the field of religion no one wants to come to the number one position.



The person who befriends fault and imperfection is on the path of destruction. We have compromised with greed, selfishness, lying and desire.
The person who become enemies with fault and imperfection, will be defeated by it.

So we cannot make weakness, faults and imperfection our friend or foe. What we have to do is bring something greater than our weakness, that is, our qualities and strength and weakness will automatically go away.  This is the mathematics of spiritual life. In this world, a person is not great when he does what he has to do, but a person is great when he does not do what he should not be doing! This is the biggest challenge.
Mistakes are committed by humans, the one who repents over his mistakes is a saint, the one who supports his mistakes and thinks what he has done is right comes in the category of a devil.


"Darkness cannot end darkness,  only light can do that"

So lets bring light into this world and love each other, even the ones who hate you.
