If you love God, you can't hate anything or anyone. If the love one offers is met with hate, it doesn't die, rather it manifests in the form of compassion. That is universal love. It is not just a sentiment. It cannot be manifested merely by a shift in mental disposition. It can only come from inner cleaning, an inner awakening.

Radhanath SwamiA great soul is called Saragrahi that means one who is always looking for the essence of every situation that comes before us.
Radhanath SwamiThe essence of Hinduism is the same essence of all true religions: Bhakti or pure love for God and genuine compassion for all beings.
