God is there to take care

A few days back I heard Sri Sri Ravi Shankar say some thing interesting while he was addressing a Muslim crowd. He said that once a Hindu youth was angry at all the "Attacks against Hinduism": at how the Muslims are terrorizing and how the Christians are converting. Sri Sri said "It is God who has made all these relegions. Let him worry about it. He has made it and he will take care of it. " That was really amazing. Anger does not get anything fruitful. I feel that with anger and prejudice I become blinded. I cannot even be with people of other religions. How am I any different from those people I am against. How can I be against the non accepting nature of other religions if I cannot accept them myself. Today I did another thing. I wished my colleague a Happy new year and he smiled and wished me back. It was amazing. I just have to be loving and accepting and that is what we have to spread in this world. Love and acceptance. Not hatred and anger. Anger begets anger and nothing else.
