creation. It manifests when the mind is attached to
body and illusory connections. When the mind is
obliterated, when there is self-absorption and self-
effacement by merging in the bosom of God, how can
grief approach the devotee? Absolutely impossible.
Na Dweshti: Freedom from hatred is the next
sign of a perfect man or realised devotee. When the
devotee is free from desire and pain, when he beholds
God in all forms he cannot have hatred to any crea-
ture. He feels that if he hates anybody, he hates God
Himself.
A devotee hates none. He loves all, serves all
and helps all. He is ever engaged in the good of all
beings. He works for the enlightenment and uplift
of the lesser, unfortunate infant souls.
He is not attached to any person, object or place.
He tastes the honey of divine love and so he does not
depend on any worldly object for his personal
satisfaction.
The devotee does not hate anything. Hatred is
due to ignorance. How can the devotee hate anybody
when he sees Lord Hari in everything? He feels that
the world is manifestation of the Lord and áll move-
ments and actions are His Lila. He has no Ghrina or
dislike, for faecal matter, dirt, Chandala, scavenger,
cobbler, beggar, prostitute, thief etc. He says, "I see
everywhere my sweet Lord. It is Hari who is playing
the part of prostitute, thief; dacoit, scavenger." He
has an all-embracing, all inclusive, exalted mental
state. This cannot be adequately described in words.
It has to be felt. Mira, Gouranga, Hafiz Tulsidas,
