Bhagwat Puraan’s popular teaching-‘Say No To Hate’.

Bhagwat Puraan preaches us that’Humanity blossoms with love and soils with hate.Hate is a slow poison which passes on to generations therby causing bloodshed.One harbours hate when he is humiliated,assaulted or harmed by another being’s deeds.This hatered gives birth to revenge.Bhagwat defines revenge as one’s greatest enemy,the soul which commits sin will repay for it on this very earth he is born on.We are not rightful to curse that being for his/her sins.
Eg:Bhagwat Puraan explains this preaching through the Story of King Parikshith.
One day king Parikshith went for hunting, feeling thirsty he approached a hut that belonged to Shamik Rishi and called out for assistance.Being in Samadhi Rishi did not realise Parikshith’s presence.Annoyed from this humiliation Parikshith put a dead snake around the Rishi’s neck.Yet the Rishi did not move an inch being in Samadhi.Having spoilt the purpose of his Samadhi, Parikshith egoistically left the hut at once.Soon after the Rishi’s son returned to the hut, He burnt in fury on finding his father’s salvation being disrupted.He thereby cursed the King ,that on the seventh day he will be killed by the bite of the poisonous Thakshak snake.Shringi Rishi scolded his son for this revengeful deed Said”Devotees of Lord are not rightful of this act of cursing someone.It is the Divine Himself who will carve the path of repayment of our deeds.”
                       Later on the King realised his sin and the curse he was given.Regrettfully,the king readilly accepted the curse and decided to hear Shri Mad Bhagwat Puraan the whole week for the purification of his deed.This decision led him to Baikunth on the day of his cursed death.And Thakshak went into Lord Indra’s refuge.Now Parikshith’s son Janmayjay vowed to take revenge of his father’s death.He organised a yagna to destroy Lord Indra and all the snakes of the earth.Brahspatiji came to Indra’s rescue and asked Janmayjay to stop the yagna as this would cause only more sins.He further explained that This hateful revenge did not let him realise that the curse had led His father to the purest path of salvation and inturn he would only take the lives of  millions of snakes on the earth,a sin in itself.
This explains Hatered and Revenge is not the right thing always it will only lead to destruction and downfall of each other.Forgiveness is the only tool to save people from giving a curse or getting cursed.As told by Bhagwat Puraan this viscious cycle of life and death should only be controlled by the almighty,who is far above from disqualities such as hatered and revenge.
