00:00Can you please guide me on how to stop hating someone?

00:03The mind should be treated like a temple.

00:06And you keep only sacred ones in the temple, right?

00:10And you want to keep the temple very very clean, correct?

00:13Now tell me what do you do when you hate someone?

00:16When you hate someone, do you forget them?

00:19Or do you get deeper into their memory?

00:21Deeper.

00:22So the one that you are hating in a very perverse way,

00:25very indirect way, but in a very real way,

00:28you have made them your God.

00:30Only God deserves to be in the temple, right?

00:33But see who you have put in the temple.

00:36Someone you hate means someone who is pretty unworthy, correct?

00:40The best act of hatred, real hatred, pure hatred,

00:44would lie in forgiving and forgetting.

00:48If you are still hating someone,

00:50it means you still have a very strong relationship.

00:53You are preserving that person in your mind.

00:55Is that hate?

00:56No, that's worship.

00:57Why are you worshipping that person?
