"Once a young discipline asked Jesus, “O
Master, when I am faced with some problems, how am
I to solve them?
Jesus replied, “O simpleton, do not
seek solutions to your problems. Love God, who is
installed in your heart. Love even those that hate you
because God is present in them also. How can you
ever have suffering when you love all? Your heart will
be filled with bliss when you love everybody.”
Similar
was the answer which Lord Krishna gave to Arjuna
when he asked him, “Swami, is there anybody who is
very dear to you?”
Krishna replied, “O simpleton, I
have neither friend nor foe. I am present in every
heart. I reside even in the hearts of those who criticise
Me. One who sees God in all and loves them is very
dear to Me. One is intimately related to Me not by
birth, but by one’s intense love for Me. Having been
with Me for so long, it is rather surprising that you
have not understood this basic truth. O Arjuna, you
have made Me sit in your chariot, but not in the chariot
of your heart.” "
