Funny how all the religions pretty much say the same thing yet some people interpret this to mean "hate anyone who doesnt believe in exactly the same shit as you".
@freemo
Which holy book of Hindus has that?
@madhur As far as I know none of these are intended to be quotes from holy books directly (since most arent in english). They are phrases that sum up the philosophy of the religions.
The original person/source who wrote this meme was Namrata Mehrotra. My understanding is that the quote is the reflection of the principles of karma.
@freemo This does not reflect principles of Karma. In fact, as far as Karma theory is in Bhagwad Geeta, this may not even be compatible.
Now that I am looking, I feel the Buddhist thing here may also be off the mark.
@madhur Thank you
@madhur I see a few of my hindu friends tomorrow. I figure since they are the closest thing I know to an expert I will ask them for their insights as well.
@freemo
Do share the good ones.
@freemo I am not an expert but a shlok in Bhagwad Geeta says, translated roughly :
"Do your karma, don't worry about the consequences."
Where karma refers to that action/work which is your duty/responsibility to do/perform.
Contrast this with what the meme is saying about Hinduism :
"Treat others as you would yourself be treated."
Thus binding an expectation of consequences to behaviour, and hence to action - and appears in direct contradiction to theory of karma in Bhagwad Geeta.
