Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: "... Sometimes hatred does not even manifest in the form of speech. It assumes the form of emotional vibrations. For instance you become jealous and angry that one of your colleagues got a promotion. You cannot express your displeasure openly (through words) against your colleague or the person who gave him the promotion. What do you do? You secretly wish evil to them. You may indulge in thoughts such as 'it will be nice if some trouble befalls them.' If this feeling is intense and if your mind is also powerful, the emotional flood itself can cause harm to that person. This is how curse works. Is this not violence? Even though your feeling may not assume as menacing proportions as a curse, it still amounts to violence by virtue of its wicked nature. This . . . is of paramount importance to those who are in the path of spiritual sadhana."
