When you hate the Lord, you are hating yourself. When you inflict pain on another name, remember that the other is yourself, in another form with another name....Envy causes pain on those who are envied. When another's fortune is green, why should your eyes be red? Why get wild when another eats his fill? Give up this vice of envy. Be happy when another is happy. That is more pleasing to the Lord than all the prayers you recite, all the flowers you heap on His picture or image, or even the hours you spend in silent meditation. Dhrishti (sight) decides attachment, sorrow, passion, etc. You are the noblest being ever created, and so, you have to develop the vision that sees no high or low, that sees all as suffused with divinity, and therefore, not different from one another. Adi Shankara declared, " Make your Dhrishti charged with Jnana (wisdom); then, the scene will appear in its true light as Brahman " . The God in you is in each of them, too. Do not imagine the others to be distinct; they are only you, in so many different forms. The world is filled with your kith and kin; all are sparks from the same flame.
