Poems on Love and Hate

 mountain-dark-sunset-kedar

No remedy for black hate?
Who says?
Just love
And love more,
That’s all.

– Sri Chinmoy [1]

~

Love yourself
Lo, you have begun
Your lifelong romance.
Hate yourself.
Lo, you have begun
Your lifelong battle.
Love God.
Lo, you have established
Your supremacy on earth.
Hate God.
Lo, the fool in you has caught
The fool you are.

– Sri Chinmoy

~

I do not hate the world,
Not because I do not know
How to hate,
But because God does not want me
To hate.
I love the world,
Not because I know how to love,
But because God,
Out of His boundless Bounty,
Loves the world
In me, through me and for me.

– Sri Chinmoy

 

Quotes on Love and Hate

“Hate is often an obverse form of love.
You hate someone whom you really wish to love but whom you cannot love.”

– by Sri Chinmoy

~

“Hate is a disguised form of love.
You can only hate someone that you have the capacity to love because if you are really indifferent,
you cannot even get up enough energy to hate him”

– Sri Chinmoy
