What does Lord Krishna says abot others in Bhagwat Geeta?
Although this para goes out of the question, still I can not resist to comment on the same. I did not study the Bible, but then I happen to see one picture, in which Lord Jesus is sitting amongst the disciples, one child is sitting on His lap. He says there " You have to love others like you love yourself. Do you understand or I just shatter?" The 'same' thing is said in Geeta by Lord Krishna. The person, whose mind is in his control, the one, who has conquered the the organs of earthly enjoyment, the one, whose heart is pure and one who thinks that the soul in others as his God, then his deeds or what ever he does, does not get attached to him. (5/7).
Lord Krishna says "The man who see myself in every soul and see every soul in myself sees the real Me. (That means real Lord Krishna.) That means for that person, I am there and for Me he is there." (6/30).
Lord Krishna says "The person, who sees Myself in every soul, like same one (big?) soul and then worship me, how so ever he behaves, he behaves like Myself only." (6/31).
( It looks that God is repeatedly telling the "same" thing at different places and time. The stupid follower are misinterpreting the words. They are fighting amongst themselves for nothing. It is all nothing but ego based misbehaviour.)
There is one verse in Geeta where Lord Krishna says " When ever there is loss of religion and growth of bad things in the society, I take birth. (4/7).
Lord Krishna proceeds to say " To help the people, who do good things, to destroy the people, who do bad things, I take birth in ages after ages. (4/8).
(The stupid people, who are dominated by the ego are free to fight over the "words" which are interpreted differently over time and place. They fight on the silly issues that whether the God comes Himself or that He sent his son or He sends His messengers. Incidentally the human being is the only species, which have damaged the ecosystem, kills the the fellow being of the same species over silly issues, based on "ego" and thinks that he is " most intelligent.")
