Sai Baba Gita - Jealousy and Hatred Destroy those who Possess them

[Guest guest]

Jealousy and Hatred Destroy those who Possess them

While explaining these principles to Arjuna, Krishna told Arjuna, "For your evil

cousins, the one hundred brothers who have been plotting to destroy the

Pandavas' joy and happiness, it is their evil qualities which encouraged them

to do all their wicked deeds. People who are jealous attract bad people for

company. These cousins have with them their evil uncle, who encouraged them in

their enmity towards the Pandavas. He is filled with jealousy. These are all

blind people. Just as their father is physically blind, all hundred brothers

are mentally blind. They join together and fall in line with one another. But

you can be sure, Arjuna, that the bad qualities in these people will destroy

them." As Krishna predicted, not even one of these hundred brothers survived

the war to perform the funeral rites for their parents. This is the great

tragedy of falling into hatred and jealousy.

If you want to really understand the Gita, then you have to start by developing

all the good qualities and virtues that have been discussed. Once these good

qualities are part of you, you will be able to experience the divinity

directly.

Anything you desire can be gotten from a wish-fulfilling tree. The Gita is such

a wish-fulfilling tree. It will grant you whatever you are ready to receive. It

will give you the level of understanding which reflects your own particular

desires. In this age, people are interpreting the Gita incorrectly, because

they are filled with so many wrong desires. And so, the Gita has been of little

use to them. But, you must develop your virtue and fill yourself with love. Then

the lofty message of the Gita will shine within you and inspire you to reach the

divinity. To reach the divinity is your birthright. It is your unchanging

reality, your undying truth.
