Bhagavad Gita 16.18

Previous verse · Next verse

अहङ्कारं बलं दर्पं कामं क्रोधं च संश्रिताः। मामात्मपरदेहेषु प्रद्विषन्तोऽभ्यसूयकाः॥

Given over to egotism, brute force, insolence, lust, and anger, these malicious people hate Me residing in their own bodies and in the bodies of others.

Mistreating oneself or others is described as hating the indwelling Divine Presence within all human bodies.
