Realisation of the Oneness

How does the realisation of the oneness of all beings help us overcome hatred and selfishness and manifest our innate divine qualities? 

"When the teeth bite your tongue, do you get angry at them for hurting you? Do you break the teeth that hurt it so? No. For teeth and tongue are both yours, both you. Similarly, he who hurts you and you are both limbs of the same body, God. Feel that oneness and avoid hate. 

God is on the lookout for this inner vision; He blesses those whose hearts are so vast that they can take in all His children. How can He be pleased when you are so selfish and narrow-minded that you send away His children from the doorstep of your heart? You must first have a clear understanding of the nature of the Goal - God or Goodness or the Universal Absolute—whatever the name, its grandeur, its beneficence, its magnificence. Then, that understanding itself will prompt and urge you towards it. 

The Universal of which you are a unit is pure, true, egoless, unlimited, and everlasting. Contemplate on It and your innate egolessness, truth, purity, and eternality will manifest itself, more and more every day."

~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~

(Divine Discourse - July 8, 1968)

God gives ear to the prayers that rise in all languages and even from the silence of thedumb. He has no trace of anger or worry. You too have no reason to develop anger and anxiety - BABA
