“If we understand the underlying cause of what we think of as bad in someone, instead of being hateful, we will be compassionate. For is not every soul inherently good? A saintly person will hate the disease but love the diseased.”
– Radhanath Swami in The Journey Home book
That’s very true! Every sincere pure soul is compassionate to other living entities and they don’t have any concept of enemies because for them everyone is the devotee of the Lord.
That was the mood of Lord Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Who came to establish yuga dharma of chanting the Holynames of the Lord.
Amazing quote from Radhanath Swami Maharaj. He is emblem of compassion and his compassion is shown by the way he has taken initiatives like Food For Life, Bhaktivedant Hospital and Govardhan Eco Village and all these initiatives have been well recognized by various authorities.
One who has knowledge of the soul,does not hate anyone but has compassion towards all living entities.
Thank you
this quote has so much depth in it…
Hate the disease, Not the diseased
amazing quote!!!!!!
Thank you HH Radhanath swami for guiding us not to be hateful to the persons who has done bad thing and we should be compassionate to those people.
I liked the last statement that ” saintly person will hate the disease but love the diseased.” Thanks Maharaj

This principle is very hard because when a person continuously hate or do bad even after excusing for several times then what to do with that person only to stay away from that person.Such people are there.Only maharaj can understand how to do with such people.Thanks maharaj.

A saintly person will hate the disease but love the diseased.” This is realy wonderful swamiji.Thank u for ur beutiful teachings.
Such a vision of hating the disease and not the diseased can come only from one who has thoroughly understood the message of God and is firmly established on the spiritual platform wherefrom he can see every living entity as the child of God. Radhanath Swami seems to have such a beautiful vision.
Radhanath Maharaj is really very inspiring with his quotes. Not only does he makes quotes but also follows the theme of the quotes.
Only to a genuine, sincere practitioner who by dint of humble service has truly received the mercy of his spiritual master, can such deep knowledge be revealed in the heart. Thanks a lot HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj for sharing it with us!
Such an insightful thought, yet so difficult to implement. Thank you Radhanath Swami fir this excellent comment.
This devine statement of HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj is simple explanations of the statement hate the sin not the sinner.
Through his book “Journey Home” He is expressing his gratitude to all living beings.
This book is the journey on the road of compasion, Forgiveness, simplicity and Gratitude..to achieve the destination of Love and selfless service in the mood of servant of the servant of the servant.
Thank you HH Radhanath Swami Maharaj for such a wonderful quote.
If the world understand the thought of Radhanath Swami then surely hatred will be removed from the heart of the people. And loving society can be formed very easily.
Really… the compassion is the real ornament of the great soul. Thank you very much Maharaj.
I am grateful to Radhanath Swami for sharing these higher realizations.
“A saintly person will hate the disease but love the diseased.” is really a statement to be thought on. I am always trying to judge and hate by externals, not thinking to forgive and see what is the disease and how can I help him/her to come out of it.
