The Transforming Power of Love Love will not submit to the forces of envy or hatred however powerful they maybe. Love will prevail over them. Once when Buddha was travelling, he was confronted by a demoness with a sword in hand. Oh Buddha! Your Love must submit today to my envy. Your life will end today. Buddha answered her, with a smile: I will not submit to envy or hatred. I am not affected by praise or blame or ridicule. I love even you who bear such ill will towards me. When the demoness heard these words, she turned into a dove and vanished. Those who hate others are ultimately consumed by their own hatred. Those filled with envy ultimately meet their end in it. Richard, a character in one of Shakespeares plays, was filled with envy and could not bear to see any one superior or better looking than himself. In the end, he was a victim of his own envy and died miserably. Similar examples can be found in the Indian epics. Bhasmasura, who got a boon from Siva that any one on whom he placed his palm should be reduced ashes, was himself reduced to ashes when he placed his palm over his head. Buddham Saranam Gacchami Sangham Saranam Gacchami Dharmam Saranam Gacchami.
