00:00I hate them, but I love them.
00:03They are my people, my community, my caste.
00:07Sir, if you hate them, you cannot love them.
00:11Those who hate are just haters.
00:13They will hate even those they claim to love.
00:16If you are a hater in your public life,
00:20you'll be a hater in your private life also.
00:23Hatred and love are not polar opposites.
00:27If Arjun is fighting the war here,
00:30and he goes on to kill a lot of his relatives and teachers,
00:33that war is not coming from hatred.
00:36It is coming from realization.
00:38And these are two very different centers.
00:40Because you must be wondering,
00:41if we love everyone, how will we fight the evil ones?
00:43Like Arjun did in presence of Krishna.
00:46Without hatred.
00:47Fight with knowledge, not with hatred.
00:52Fight because that's what is needed.
00:54Not because you are burning with hatred.
00:58These are two very different things.
01:00If you fight from hatred,
01:01your punishment will be that you will never be able to love anybody.
01:05Because you are the same person.
