Attitudes Towards Enemies

Sometimes the Christian ethic of “turning the other cheek” and tolerating outrageous behavior is said to be inappropriate. But a sadhu – at least an uttama adhikari – is meant to wish all well. Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati said, “Let me not desire anything but the highest good for my worst enemies.” (from the booklet “Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura,” published by Janananda das, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)
