Love and Hate
“Sovereign love arises from inner fullness. It doesn't covet, possess, or enslave. Instead, it's rooted in self-rule, self-sufficiency, and self-love.” —Acharya Shunya
In yesterday’s teaching on Bhaja Govindam, Acharya Shunya reminded us that “body consciousness is the source of hate.”
When we deeply understand that we and “others” are not bodies or even minds, but the one Self, there can be no hate.
Our human minds have been conditioned to be drawn to certain bodies and reject other bodies, (or even love/hate certain aspects of our own body/mind), perpetuating the seemingly endless cycle of joy and sorrow through karma. When we learn about the Self and this cosmic set up, we begin to disrupt this cycle of samsara.
Thank you for bringing us this illuminating wisdom, Guruji! 🙏🏼🪔
Thanks for sharing this Jayanti! The universe sends us messages when we need to and are ready to hear it and your message lands in a very reflective space for me.
