When Jesus said, "Love thy neighbour as thyself", what he meant was that there was nobody bad on this planet. Even when he was crucified, he said, "Forgive them. They are ignorant". He did not put a curse on them by saying. "They are bad people, they are sinners". If we come to think of it what bigger sin could be there than to crucify Jesus? But just by His saying that they were ignorant, they lacked knowledge, He said it all. Great men live by doing what they say, we don't.

When Jesus was alive, people could not see the divinity in Jesus right there. They were glorifying Moses and Esau and others who had come before him. This is so because the mind is happy seeing the divine somewhere in the past or maybe somewhere in the future, far away but not near.

What is our definition of God? We call him Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, meaning that the All-Powerful and the all-seeing is present everywhere. Present everywhere including in myself, including in yourself, including in other people also. But why can we not see Him then? Because God cannot be perceived if the mind is not with you in the present. You are not in the present because you are stressed.

Stress is like dirt. The sun cannot be seen if the glass is not transparent, if the windows are not open. Only a mind cleansed of all kinds of diseases - cribbing, grumbling, blaming, doubting etc., - can one feel benevolent, feel grateful from within.

A mind filled with gratefulness is godly; it acquires a vastness of the infinite space. And this is the key to infinity, to the divine. Did you know that a vast mind becomes intuitive automatically? Only in the vastness of gratitude, in utter gratefulness, does your intuitive faculty become fully functional. God is not to be experienced through the intellect but through intuition (Sahaja bodhashakti) alone that it can be cognized, and cognized as Reality or Truth. Doubt keeps this door closed.

The mind has a natural tendency to doubt. Doubt is the starting point. From there you say, "Everybody cannot be good". Doubt is always about the good. Have you observed this in your life? You hardly ever doubt that you are unhappy. Do you ever say, "Am I unhappy?" No, you never doubt unhappiness. It has been your companion for so long in life, how can you doubt its presence?

But when you are happy, then you doubt, "Am I really happy? Is this a dream, an illusion or is it some fantasy?" Do you see that? We don't doubt when we are unhappy. When somebody is angry or abusive, we know, we take it for granted that he is bad, and therefore never ask, "Is that man really bad?" See this nature of man. We doubt the goodness and not the badness in people. To my way of thinking this is the original sin.

If you take it the other way - if you doubt the badness of everyone - then you will start trusting the goodness in creation. It's a big shift. It is good to doubt. Doubt and trust are two sides of the same coin, but put them in their right places. Doubt the badness in people. If you can do that then you will find that no one is really bad.

That is the language of the heart. It is universal. Whatever happens in the heart, in a pure heart, is never untrue. In fact, the heart needs no language. Its very pulsation unites you with the entire creation, unites you with the cosmos. Is it necessary to speak?
