Divinity in Humanity- Seek the divine in every being

A knife is used by a surgeon and a knife is also used by a villain. The surgeon's cutting of a person is for his good, but the villain uses the knife for an evil purpose. A butcher may use knife to cut meat and a lady may use a knife to cut fruit for a salad. If all the knives are put in a circle with a magnet at the centre, all the knives will be equally attracted by the magnet. The good or bad is not in the knives.

God is the magnet and all men are attracted to God. Good and bad are not in a human being, but in the way the mind is used. Do not fill the mind with thoughts of the evil actions that may be perceived in the world. The purpose of all types of sadhana(spiritual practice) is to train the mind to see the Divine in everything- that is true adjustment sadhana. This you can carry this out in everything you do.
There is one that crushes



but the other feels the touch of divinity in every being





An example:
A dead dog was on the road and crows were pecking at it. People walk by and say, "Oh, what a terrible sight and horrible smell !"
But JESUS was walking by and He said, "What beautiful teeth the dog has, so white and shiny. Nobody was brushing or taking care, but still the dog kept such beautiful teeth." JESUS was showing that one can see the best qualities in even the worst situations. People who are saintly look always to the good and do not become entangled in the bad.

Good or Bad Qualties are not created by GOD but by man himself. The way  he uses his mind, same way he will create his qualities in him.
