Dr. Bahram Shahmardaan in "Love and Hate - Manifesting Love and Transforming Hate," adeptly explains the negative basis of the human mind and ego and the feeling of separation is the reason why human minds respond much more readily to negative impulses of fear and hate rather than positive impulses of love. The fear of loss is a greater motivation than opportunity for gain.

We have to accept responsibility for everything that happens in our life. We should refuse to blame others for the adverse situations we experience and deal with them out of love and understanding rather than reacting out of hate and fear.

Practical steps can be taken to manifest love and transform hate. Many of us do not realize this but we really are only channels through which the Universe flows and distributes itself. Even among those who are aware that we are only channels of the Universe, few consciously live their lives as channels.

All religions have Love as their central theme and have emphasized self-control. But in the name of religion people are being excited to kill those who do not belong. It is ironic that many people who cannot control themselves, try to control others, and many who cannot change themselves try to change others. Do not allow yourselves to fall into this trap created by the mind and ego. Instead take charge of your mind and gain control of your senses. To do that you need to go within yourself.
