GITA 108 DAYS - Day 59
59. Love all; do not see faults in others
When you love all, you cannot see faults in anyone. Jealousy is the origin of all fault findings. When you superimpose faults in the virtues of others, it becomes jealousy. Only when we are devoid of jealousy we will be able to know the supreme truth.
Knowledge that reveals the principles of the self is the secret of all secrets and the king of all wisdom. It is pure, perfect and it can be comprehended. It is easy to practice and it is in accordance with Dharma. It is imperishable. The Lord who has no specific form, but He fills the entire universe. All are in Him; but He is not in any of them. This is the state of dettached attachment. “I am not the doer, nor the enjoyer”, says the Lord. “I am just a witness of nature”. We also must develop this attitude. Emotions can rise in us, but we should not happen in emotions.
Those who are not careful about this Dharma and its results continue to dwell in the world of plurality. Those who leave this body in fire, day time, full moon and when the sun is in its Northern traverse (uttaraayanam) will attain Brahma. Others who leave in smoke, night, new moon and when the sun is in its southern traverse (dakshinayanam) will return to the world of samsara.
The path of light is the path of knowledge. When the person who does virtuous deeds guided by the path of knowledge leaves his body, it is uttrayanam. Dakahinayanam is the path of people who have the misunderstanding that “I am the body”. So live your life and act beyond the limitations of time. Do not consider that it is ignoble for a leaf to fall in a sewer; nor it is noble just because it fell inside the temple compound.
If our mind runs after any desire, it will not reach its desitnation. So act without any attachment to desires to go beyond all limitations.
