As “Dwesha Bhakthi” – hatred – is stronger than “Sneha Bhakthi” – love – they will attain Moksham sooner than the devotees and unite with Me”.

Note – this session gives precious lessons for worldly as well as spiritual life. When a guest or customer is displeased by your servant or employee, the best way to appease them is demonstrated here. What a practical wisdom advised by Bhagavatham!

Now let us look at the comparison of hatred and love. People seldom remember their friends, but constantly think about their strong enemies and how to conquer them or belittle them. Such a frequency and intensity of thoughts overpower our mind. That means, it is the intensity of thoughts that help us achieve our goal. So, if it is diverted towards divinity, eventually our mind will be overpowered by none other than the Lord Himself.

So, if you cannot love God wholeheartedly, it is better to hate Him wholeheartedly rather than ignoring Him totally. Thus Sage Maithreya concluded the story behind the birth of Hiranya Kashipu and Hiranyaksha as Dithi’s sons. The kind-hearted Dithi felt sorry for the Devas who would be harmed by her sons, so she continued to bear them in her womb for 100 years.
