Excerpt:
Where is 'vaira' of any order sanctioned, permitted or condoned in our shastras? When you get hatred, your hands and body start trembling. The eyes become red. The cheeks start trembling, lips also. The blood pressure goes up, circulation becomes faster. And whatever you do and whatever you think, whatever you speak, everything will be disorderly. How much time does it require to know that it is so? How can you say, “This hatred, I am not able to overcome. That hatred, I am not able to overcome.”? You cannot say that!
It is something like inverting a vessel and pouring water. All your sādhana becomes wasteful. And does this hatred help you? Does it help the other? Can you not make it an important point in your sādhana that whatever may be the cause, provocation… ‘Whatever’ may be anything. See, we are living with our diseases, we are living with our disabilities because it is in our body. Do you throw the body away because it is unable to do things? In the same manner, in the family in which you live, in the Ashram in which you live, in the office in which you live, there will be some people who have unpleasant and unacceptable qualities.
