Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 For a true devotee there should be no evil traits such as hatred, jealousy, anger or greed. These are the main obstacles to devotion which enter your being. You must develop a sense of unity with everyone. If you develop hatred towards anyone, you will be hating the very Lord whom you worship. It is because of your inflated ego that you take action against another, in the course of which, hatred, jealousy and anger arise. Therefore, the primary warning given in the Gita says, "Show no hatred towards any being". - From Swami's 1973 Birthday Discourse. Om Sai Ram India has a new look. Take a sneak peek.
