Vaibhav also said in his comment
“…..Krishna said to Arjuna ‘kill but with love’..”. many have told me that they are following
it……! I would like to clarify that statement here. Whenever we read, hear or
see something we interpret it to suit our sense of purpose and lose out on the
actual meaning. The damage – we follow
the “wrong thinking” that ‘we are right’ and the
next is we quote others and scriptures to paint our wrongs as rights! The
danger is we go on living as the same wrong committed person and then complain
and are confused why inspite of being ‘right’
(so called) are suffering and why events are not unfolding the proper way (as
per our defination!)
What is the actual meaning of
this statement then? It simply means “hate the sin and
not the sinner”. When a person
hurts us, we are angry with the person and talk about his flaws, pinpoint his
drawbacks and hurt him to avenge our hur/pain.
But this is “Adharma”. This will keep the wheel of karma going on as
the other person will also retaliate. We
are bound to our karma not because we commit one but because of our emotions,
our expectations and our sense of achievement and loss with regards to our
actions. Does it mean we’ve to let go of
the people when they wrong us? No. but not out of vengeance should we act! We
should teach them a lesson so that they understand their worng/mistake and also
for them to realize their mistake. We
can also take steps to teach a lesson to the person who is wrong so that he
doesnot perpetuate it again. If we keep mum, he’ll become more arrogant and
will commit the wrong – a bigger one this time! So, to check that we should
take stpes. So, then the steps we take
will be out of love for that person. It’ll be for the good of that person. Not to hurt him. Not out of anger. Not out of
hatred.
