Q49. What causes humans to hate each other?

Due to man-made ideologies, and ignorance of facts. People become envious and egoistic. The result of this is hatred. “One who does not hate anyone, is friendly and compassionate to all living beings, shares his belongings with others, has no sense of ownership, free from ego; even-minded in both happiness and distress, forgiving, tolerant in all situations, always satisfied, worships Me with determination and devotion. Such a person is very dear to Me.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 12.13-14) Lord Krishna states that those who give up bodily designations and are friendly to all living beings are very dear to Him.
