To know that you can not harbour love and hate in the same heart - that is saintliness: Hazel

"If you do not see God in the person you hate, you are not likely to see Him in the person you love. You are not likely to see Him anywhere. For if you knew what love really can do to you, you wouldn't be into hatred in the first place. To know that you can not harbour love and hate in the same heart - that is saintliness, that is rising to Godliness: there is no God beyond that. Everything else is desire disguised as love. Love is nothing but throbbing with the universe and being happy in doing that. You will see that happiness and that calm written large on the face of a man in love and at peace with the universe and with himself. Sometimes, such men and women are called saints. They have gone beyond pain and sorrow because they have gone beyond attachment; they have gone beyond attachment not because they do not love, but because they love too well, because they own everything and everything owns them: there is nothing for them to be gained - or lost. Such men are not men of God; they are God. There is no other God you will ever find, before or after death.........." and the wind spoke on ......
