why there is no distinction between human beings Four immeasurables To train mind with four immeasurables, initially it is necessary to have altruistic thought of separating all sentient beings from suffering and its causes. This altruistic compassion is called immeasurable compassion. Such compassionate thought should not be discriminated between self belongings and others and this thought is called immeasurable equanimity. Even hatred towards enemy and attachment towards relatives should also abandon. There should be complete thought of being all sentient beings as an equal- no high and low cast, white and black, rich and poor etc. At present situation our parents, friends and relatives have feelings of attachment towards us and on contrary our enemies have immense hatred towards us. The reason behind all these are due to non-analyzed and ignorance. In our uncountable rebirth present enemies had also been our parents and relatives. They had cared and loved us. Similarly the persons who are our parents and relatives in present life had also been our enemies and opponents in former life. They had saddened and harmed us. As a story goes, while a bodhisattva named Katayana was going for alms, he saw a woman carrying a baby in her lap and eating a fish deliciously. A female dog was waiting for the bone with brimming water from mouth and suddenly the woman kicked the dog and let it go away. When the bodhisattva sees with his foresight, the fish was rebirth of her late father and the female dog was her late mother. The baby she was holding in her lap was the enemy who had taken her life in former life and the child was born as retribution of her past actions. So the bodhisattva was astonished and recited the following verses.
