Love And Hatred :
There is no other obstruction in the way of love except the presence of hatred. If there is no hatred, love blooms of its own accord — spontaneously and naturally. Nothing else is to be done for it to blossom. It is like removing a stone blocking a small stream: once removed, the stream flows on its own. In the same way, the stone of hatred weighs on us. Because of the stone of hatred, we are unable to see our faces reflected in the mirrors of all animate and inanimate objects; nor can we become mirrors reflecting all those objects in ourselves.
Both these phenomena happen simultaneously: the person who can see himself in all animate and inanimate objects — all the animals, the whole existence — will inevitably be able to see all in himself. The person for whom the whole world becomes a mirror, himself becomes a mirror for the whole world. That happens simultaneously. They are the two sides of one and the same occurrence. The Ishavasya Upanishad says that when this happens, hatred disappears.
Om Namah Shivay.
