Episode 19: Love Everyone

This week's podcast dives into the concept of how to truly love everyone, even those we don't see eye to eye with. "He who sees the Supreme Lord abiding alike in all beings, and not perishing when they perish- verily he alone sees." Bhagavad Gita 13:27 When we realize that the same Divine essence is contained within every living being's heart of hearts, we begin to recognize the interconnectedness of all of life. Even if on the surface we disagree with someone or have different belief systems or cultures, on the deepest level we are all comprised of the same Divine spark that animates us and gives us life. Yogis call it the Self, or the spirit incarnate (the soul). The Self carries on long after the body has passed away. When we get in the habit of seeing others as Divinity incarnate, we become capable of putting ourselves in their shoes simply through recognizing that on the deepest level of existence, we are one and the same. Our external actions and preferences may vary greatly as that is the nature of an embodied experience. If we attach our love for someone based on whether we agree with them or not, our love is conditional and fleeting. When we realize that all living beings are lovable simply because they are an emanation of Divine origin, we begin to allow unconditional love to be the foundation for all of our relationships and interactions with others (and ourselves). Loving kindness breeds compassion which invites reverence for the life force within all beings, respect for self and others, and inner strength to stay in a loving vibration no matter the circumstances. The special outro music at the end of the podcast is called 'Trust' (feat. Mitch Brady) and is produced by DJ Karishtan. It is available for download via iTunes and Spotify.
