Guest guest Posted September 14, 2002 Report Share Posted September 14, 2002 Chapter 6 Verse 9 Suhrin-mitr'aary-udaaseenamadhyastha-dveshhya-bandhushhu / saadhushv api cha paapeshhu sama-buddhir vishishhyate // He excels, who has equal regard for the good-hearted, friends, enemies, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, the relatives, the saints and the sinners. LESSONS FROM BHAGAVAD GITA – 56 >From the discourses of Pujya Sri Swamiji "He excels, who has equal regard for the good-hearted, friends, enemies, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, the relatives, the saints and the sinners." An ordinary man likes his friends and hates his enemies. It is due to his sense of ego that he behaves differently with different types of people. But the man who has transcended his ego-sense and realized the Self sees the divine being dwelling under the appearance of so many different characters. As such he sees the sameness in all those varieties. In fact, all people and all beings are of the nature of Brahman having Brahman for their essence. When a yogi is able to perceive Brahman present in all, he becomes possessed of evenness of perception. And so he is equal-minded towards all. News - Today's headlines http://news.
