Sriguru Saipreeth Swamiji constantly reminds us to love everyone as everyone deserves to be happy and to help others in their spiritual journey as well.
Buddha
Once Buddha encountered the demon of jealousy, which said, “Buddha, I am going to devour you.” Buddha smiled and said sweetly, O demon of jealousy, I love you too.” Upon listening to the loving words of Buddha, the demon immediately turned into a dove that symbolized love and peace and flew away..
Lord Krishna
Lord Arjuna asked Lord Krishna, “Swami, is there anybody who is very dear to you?” Lord Krsna replied, “I have neither friend nor foe. I am present in every heart. I reside even in hearts of those who criticise Me. One who sees God in all and loves them is very dear to Me.
One become a devotee in the true sense only when one cultivate patience and conquers the evils of anger, hatred and jealousy with love.
Don’t be elated by praise or depressed by blame. It is not proper on your part to love only those who praise you and hate those who criticize you. Criticism will only help you to progress. So, do not harbour hatred towards those who criticize you. Accept everything good that comes your way. Ignore all that is bad.
