Don’t Harbour Hate in Heart

Human beings are loaded with different kind of emotions. Few are so called negative, few are positive. Emotions which create certain situation such as tension, pain, panic, confusion etc are surely entitled for negative ones and producer of love, friendliness, peace etc are positive ones.



I want to talk about hate. One of the predominant denominators which is shaping 21st century. Hate becomes bread and butter for few people, especially in India, politician win their seats over fiery speeches and spewing out venom on their chosen victims. India has been facing bloodshed for many years it was previously communal riots, now it has become sectorial riots. Communal was based on religion-Hindu &Muslim riots, Hindu& Sikh riots and sectorial is based on land-Hate for non-Marathi’s in Mumbai, and prevailing prejudices in North east India.


Each incident is outcome of hate. People fight over religion-“My God and scriptures stronger than yours”;”whatever written in your religion is farce what is written in my book is pure and true”; I wonder sometimes people kill each other on these petty issues. They do not understand the value of human life. Whatever religion one follows, whatever cast one belongs, should not forget that being a human being is a greatest gift. We allow the seed of hate to sow in our heart; our heart is very fertile whatever we sow it grows in abundance, so as hate. After sowing it we nurture it with our prejudices and preoccupied beliefs and without a hint it makes our heart barren. The positive emotion keeps our heart fertile where negative one sucks all energy and left heart lifeless.


Our true nature is love, we born with this emotion. The way baby cling to his/her mother is a sign of love, cry for motherly touch is a sign of love then from where we have developed this hate. We took hate unknowingly in this world. The companions of hate are ego, selfishness. Then how do we eradicate it completely from our heart? Only by inviting Love. We cannot expel hate , ego ,selfishness in a overnight from our heart. Just ignore them as a unwanted guest and attain only love when these emotion do not get your guest hood they will walk silently out from your heart. Suppressing any emotion is not the right idea mindfully channelize it ,is the better way to handle it.

I would finish with words of Nixon:” Always remember others may hate you but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.”
