Love your enemies

Love your enemies, by Haripada dasa
Martin Luther King always said that by just saying what one thinks, one already creates so many enemies. What is an enemy ?, Is a person who insults us, belittles, envies and humiliates us. It is said in verse 9 of chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita that a person is even more advanced when he considers everyone - the honest well-wisher, friends and enemies, the envious, the pious, the sinner and those who are indifferent and impartial. - with an equitable mind. Jesus Christ always said that praying to God for friends is easy, but we must pray to God for our enemies. Jesus was made many offenses and crucified, but he prayed to God for his offenders. It was merciful and tolerant, it is said that a great personality is measured by its degree of tolerance, of course tolerance and mercy are two qualities that go together, a person is tolerant when he is very merciful, materialists are not tolerant neither merciful, every day they send millions and millions of innocent animals to the slaughterhouse, and they are not tolerant, I saw how a person would whistle at the car ahead because the traffic light turned green and the other left the car all annoying and ended up sticking punches.
I share this story that comes in the Bhagavatam, there was a great yogi named Durvasa Muni, once Durvasa Muni for no reason offended a great pure devotee of God or Krishna called Ambarisa Maharaja, God or Krishna never tolerated the offenses to His devotees and commanded his personal weapon called the Sudarsana Chakra, when Durvasa Muni saw the Sudarsana Chakra that was going to punish him he fled across all the planets, he even reached the spiritual world and threw himself at the lotus feet of God or Narayana and asked for forgiveness for offending His devotee, God or Narayana told him to go and ask His devotee's forgiveness not to Him, Durvasa Muni went and apologized to Ambarisa Maharaja and saw that Ambarisa Maharaja was praying to God or Krishna for the good of the yogi, and Durvasa Muni He said that now I have understood the glories of the pure devotees of God or Krishna, I have offended you and in return you have prayed to God or Krishna for my good fortune.
