Hate !

[Guest guest]

Hate is itself deep rooted, just like love and other passion. To

remove Hate is like trying to remove the dead gangerous tissue from

the surface of our skin. It will cause bleeding, pain and ultimately

scars.

 

Even educated people harbor hate within them.

 

So can Education/Knowledge actually eradicate Hate or intensify it?

 

The very person who preach Love and Compassion to the public at

large, but on the other side advocate hate and defamatory.

 

I believe there are more, much much more !!

A member asked me this yesterday : "who was that "hate!" post

directed at?". The message supposedly will "fuels the

fire".

 

Let me clarify publicly. That post was not directed at anybody at

all. It is a general statement arising from the current thread

messages. When I read them the only words that come to my mind is the

word HATE!. Such incidence does not only happen in USA or Canada. It

happened in almost all nations even to a small country like us

Singapore.

 

And like I said many times, Hate just like any other emotions of

anger, love etc are rooted deep with in us. It is easy to say :

Detach! Detach or Purify! Purify! as Omprem remarked in one of his

post. But one young member asked me : HOW!

 

It is a very powerful word isn't it. To say that " I do not

harbour

Hate in me" I am lying to myself. I have a thousand and one

reasons

to hate certain people. I should be hating man because I am almost

rape by them when I am just a young girl. They too molested me

several time. Man ridicule and make fun of me a lot of time. Man

called me "bitch" and a "Fundamentalist Feminist"

because I refuse to

respond to their advances. But to be honest I don't hate Man nor

anybody at all. We shouldn't blame the rest when it is the doing

of

one group of people.

 

In my previous post I mention about Healing. I strongly believe that

Healing is the first step in any spiritual journey. Many embarked in

spiritualism with the hope to get heal, but the most important of all

is this desire to be healed. And this desire must come from within.

One must be open to healing. One young member asked me a question

about spiritual & emotional Healing. How does one knows that he/she

is emotionally healed?

 

I don't think so that I can answer that question. I am not a

psychologist, even a psychologist will not be able to give any

assurance. But I like to share a story about Vijaya ( this is not her

real name). Vijaya is kind enough to allow me to share her story with

others with the hope that others too will learn something from her

experience.

 

Vijaya comes from a broken home. Both her parents are teachers. They

are too busy fighting with each other. She blamed herself for her

parents break up marriage. She failed her final exams twice and was

really depress. All she wanted is to study but nobody is giving her

the alternative avenue. We cross each other path and we had a long

talk. We talk about her ambitions but never about her family

troubles. I know there is more than just family quarrels, but since

Vijaya choose not to mention it, I did not persue. Eventually we

managed to put her in a Nursing school. Initially it was tough on

her, but through guidance and encouragement she pulls through. After

one year, Vijay came back to me. This time she looks different. More

cheerful and lively. I asked her during dinner " If you were to

compare yourself now with one year ago, how have you progress?"

 

She stop for awhile, went into deep thoughts and reply " A year

ago I

always believe that I am the only one who have problem. I used to

lament about my problems. Now after observing others especially

during my ward posting, I realize that my problems are actually

minute. I didn't realize that there are others who suffer much

more

than me. Neither am I angry with my parent. I don't blame them

nor I

blame myself."

 

Vijaya became The President of the Hindu Association in her College,

will be completing her Nursing Degree and will commence her Masters

in Nursing very soon.

 

Can we consider her healed?

 

I am seeing a very different person. From an emotionally disturbed

young lady to a very determined and assertive student leader.

Hey Nora,

 

In your previous posts, you mentioned about diseases and deeply held

emotional issues that are the seed causes for the disease. I want to

recommend a good book, by Louis Hay(I cant recall the name but it is

very popular, search on www.amazon.com)- at the index of the book she

gives various diseases that caused by particular psychological issues.

The only reason not to entertain hate, fear, anger etc. are not for

any moral reasons(moralists may disagree) but they cause incalculable

damage to oneself!

 

On a personal note, for a few weeks I was having chronic heartburn,

when I say chronic, it was REALLY chronic- could not figure it out, I

am an otherwise healthy young man; having tried all kinds of cures

under the sun, with no improvement, I suddenly realized that I had a

small subtle fear that was so cunningly hidden deep inside. The

moment I came face to face with that fear and banished him forever,

that very instant my hearburn stopped, never to come back again(the

downside is that i am eating somewhat recklessly;-)). After all the

body is a sacred temple and there is no room in this holy temple for

demonic tendencies like fear, anger ..etc.
