How does understanding the divinity within everyone transform our attitude toward others? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us today.
Even if others trouble you and pose problems for you, bear it with patience, believing that it will do you only good. The body, which is made up of five elements, has to fall and perish one day or another. The indweller of the body is eternal, is birthless and deathless and is not bound by any chains of bondage. In fact, this indweller is God Himself! When a beggar begs for food, he utters, Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi! He is really begging from the Dehi, the indweller and not you. Recognise the truth that he is praying to God in you for alms. It is your ignorance if you think that he is begging from you. It amounts to arrogance. Divinity resides in everyone, irrespective of whether one is a prince or a pauper. You have to adore this Divine principle in everyone and love them, but love should be selfless. Love bereft of attachment to the body flows equally towards everyone.

We need a mirror to see our face. Likewise, with the help of the mirror of wisdom, we can experience the Divinity that resides within us. - BABA
