Bhagavad Gita 11.55 · Krishna
No enmity toward anyone
मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्तः सङ्गवर्जितः।
निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव॥
matkarmakṛnmatparamo madbhaktaḥ saṅgavarjitaḥnirvairaḥ sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ sa māmeti pāṇḍava
Who works for Me, holds Me highest, loves Me, free of clinging and without enmity to any being, comes to Me, son of Pandu.
What it means
Krishna ends chapter eleven with five marks of his devotee. Working for him. Holding him as the highest. Loving him. Free of clinging. And nirvairah sarva-bhuteshu. Without enmity toward any being. Even on a battlefield, even facing opponents, no hatred. That person, he says, comes to me.
The story
Arjuna has just been told to stand and do his duty. Krishna adds the crucial condition. Do it without hatred, even for Duryodhana. That's the difference between a warrior and a killer.
In your life
Imagine someone who had to take a former friend to court, and did it fairly, without bitterness. Do your hard duties today without hatred. Firmness and kindness can live together.
Do your duty. Hate no one.
