Love The Enemy As Well
We have the famous example of Dharmaputra in our tradition; we have
the Christian tradition. Always this is the same, you see: "Love
them who do not love you." To love those who love you, it is very
easy. Any fool can love somebody who loves him. But to continue to love
somebody who hates you, who wants to destroy you, is it possible? Only
a divinised person can do it. So, those among you who are capable of
this, know you are sufficiently advanced on the path of my Master to
be able to forgive and forget.
We are not here for the friendship of our friends, or even the enmity
of our enemies; because we have no friends, no enemies. We have the
Master, we follow Him; like a well- trained dog, it follows its Master.
There are biscuits here, there are other dogs there. It will not look
left and right. So, because we are following the Master, we have no
friends or enemies; therefore no special love for anybody, no special
hate for anybody also. Master says, "Love them," we love them.
If the Master ever says, "Forget them," we have to forget
them also. Then we cannot go and fall at His feet and say, "But
Babuji, you said love them, today you are saying forget them."
He will say, "Yes. I told you to love them, you love them; today
I say forget them, so forget them. Are you obedient to me or to your
instincts?"
