Love your enemies, by Haripada dasa
Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati always said that I love even my worst enemy and his Gurudeva Gaura Kisora ​​das babaji always said that all living entities are worthy of my veneration. What is an enemy? Is a person who insults us, despises, 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 equanimous mind. Jesus Christ always said that praying to God for friends is easy, but you have to pray to God for our enemies. Jesus Christ was made many offenses and crucified, but he prayed to God for his offenders. He was merciful and tolerant, it is said that a great personality is measured by his degree of tolerance, of course that tolerance and mercy are two qualities that go together, a person is tolerant when he is very merciful, materialists are not even tolerant nor merciful, every day they send millions and millions of innocent animals to the slaughterhouse, and they are not tolerant, I saw how one person whistled at the car in front because the traffic light had turned green and the other got out of the car all annoying and they ended up punching you.
I will tell two true stories that illustrate love your enemies. My spiritual master named Srila Prabhupada bought a piece of land in Mumbai, India, to make a Krishna temple, a hotel, a theater and a vegetarian restaurant. A very powerful character, President of the Supreme Court and Director of a newspaper, bought it from Nair. Nair before this sold that land to the C. Company, with traps removed the land and money, the C. Company sued Nair, but Nair won the lawsuit. Srila Prabhupada knew it and so and everything took a chance. Nair and his lawyer wanted to do the same with Srila Prabhupada, Srila Prabhupada sued him to court, but Nair died of a heart attack. His lady continued the litigation and made a big mistake, bribing City Hall officials to tear apart the temple they were already building and to throw out all the devotees of Krishna who lived on the ground. He was shot by the butt, Krishna's devotees called all his Hindu friends and told them everything, all the most important people in Bombay condemned this act and Mrs. Nair was devastated. Then Mrs. Nair, all regretful, went to see Srila Prabhupada and crying, she threw herself at her feet to forgive her, Srila Prabhupada full of mercy told her that you are for me as my daughter, you will never miss anything in life, I will miss you I will take care of you. Now that temple is one of the most important temples in spiritual India.
The other story comes in the Bhagavatam, there was a great yogi called Durvasa Muni, once Durvasa Muni without any reason offended a great pure devotee of God or Krishna called Ambarisa Maharaja, God or Krishna never tolerates offenses to His devotees and sent his personal weapon called the Sudarsana Chakra, when Durvasa Muni saw the Sudarsana Chakra that was going to punish him, he ran away from all the planets, even reached the spiritual world and threw himself at the lotus feet of God or Narayana and apologized for offending His Devotee, God or Narayana told him to go and ask His devotee not for Him, Durvasa Muni went and apologized to Ambarisa Maharaja and saw that Ambarisa Maharaja was praying to God for the good of the yogi, and Durvasa Muni said that now I have understood the glories of the pure devotees of God, I have offended you and in return you have prayed to God for my good fortune.
