Everything, living or non living, has emanated from God. There is nothing except God in what we see or perceive in this world. Thus there is no reason to hate anything or any person. Love the world and serve the world as one should do with God.
Reflection of the Week
All time-bound events, experiences, and entities, are reflections or expressions of a deeper, timeless reality that transcends the limitations of time, space and causality.

Ayurvedic Health Tip Of The Week
The opposite of our stress response, or 'fight or flight', is the relaxation response. This is a response that can be elicited and consciously practiced. The more it is practiced, the more it is a state that your body easily inhabits. This is critical to help us to come out of our 'fight or flight' response because many of us otherwise tend to dwell in fight or flight for too long, where there are then long-term ramifications on our health. Practising coming into the relaxation response can include things like belly breathing, yoga, meditation, or mindfulness practices.
