Discrimination

The essence of all spiritual discipline is the love of God. Through love, one naturally acquires renunciation and discrimination.

True religion teaches us to come together, rise above all kinds of discrimination, and treat all beings as children of the same Supreme Father, serving and loving them selflessly and genuinely.

When God Almighty is there in the mind all the time, there is no reason why feelings like jealousy should arise, why man should make discrimination against others, why he should be proud. In this way man comes closer to man. He realises that God dwells in every human being and everybody is God's own image.

Once man knows God, all his feelings of discrimination are gone. The walls dividing the high and low do not stand any more. One sees the image of God in all human beings.

Initially, the psychic being can only exert a hidden, partial, and indirect influence through the mind, life, and body, as these aspects of nature need to be developed into instruments for its self-expression. As a result, it remains confined by their development for a long time.

The company of enlightened saints removes the sense of discrimination and narrow-mindedness. The more we get such company, the deeper and stronger is our faith in God - Nirankar.

Let the wise Brahmana, having known It alone, attain spiritual insight; let him not ponder over many words, for that is mere weariness of speech.

Discrimination, the sense of high and low is not a principle of divine adoration. Devotion rests on the foundation of love for God from the core of one's heart.

You will not win the pleasure of God unless you love the men of God. God is not happy with the man who discriminates against fellow human beings. There is no place for discrimination in the divine law.

The cow may be black, white or brown, but milk remains white in all the cases. Similarly all human bodies are comprised of the same five elements. Those who know the reality do not go after the outward appearances. They appreciate the milk and not the colour of the cow.

Knowing the right division of the categories of things, he determines what ought to be done and what ought not to be done; having gained this discernment, he stands like a householder who knows his own house.

The earth, the monkey, and the guru represent great knowledge. Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are partial manifestations of the Supreme Deity, responsible for the creation of one of the countless universes ruled by Rama, who represents the Supreme Deity.

Whoever steals the lotus stalk should be cruel and unjust towards women, relatives, and cattle.

Just as someone who wants milk will not get it by cutting off a cow's udders, a kingdom that is ruled by unfair means will not yield any profit for the king.

When one's time arrives, no one can escape. Time affects all creatures equally, showing no favoritism or bias to anyone.

You are fighting unjustly. Your time of death has come. Put down your weapons and see us standing here.

Arjuna's mind was not at peace, as he remembered the unfair dice game by Sakuni and thought of Dussasana's death with rage.

One who is defeated by unjust means should not be distressed by such a defeat.

You are indeed good, and I am evil. You are merciful, and I am impious. You are holy, I am miserable. You are just, I am unjust. You are light, I am blind. You are life, I am death. You are medicine, I am sick. You are supreme truth, I am utter vanity.

Right thought is a necessary step, and once it becomes a habit, free from errors of the senses, desires, old associations, and intellectual prejudices, the understanding becomes purified and no longer poses a significant obstacle to further knowledge.
