Likes and dislikes - do not be guided by them
Human beings cannot possess the universal consciousness that would allow them to attune to all that exists. They always experience certain feelings of repulsion, whether for a particular food, object, face or way of behaving. When we arrive on earth, we take on a body in a family somewhere, and this body does not vibrate in perfect harmony with the universe and all its creatures. But do we have to accept this state of affairs to the point where we make it a rule of conduct? No. Obviously, it is easier to seek out only those things we like. But if you listen to wisdom, which sees things differently, you will find it won't approve of you acting only according to what you like or dislike. Why not try to see things from a larger perspective and seek out what is good both for you and for others? Try asserting yourself over this capricious nature of yours, which likes this and hates that, instead of serving it day and night. As long as you are guided by your tastes, likes and dislikes, you will go astray.
