As
a social being I need to have a cordial relationship with each and every
person. The relationship could be with my family members, friends, clients, customers,
suppliers, vendors and so. I cannot be
seasonal with relationships like I do with my sweater, raincoat and umbrella.
This enthusiasm of relationships fascinates me and at the same time I wonder
why at times these relationships shines and fades; raises and falls or in some
rare cases will not develop at all? Amazingly in most of them there is no
sturdiness but having said that there are some which lasts very long with such
a stability that it does not go to the peak or get down to the gorge. I often
wondered how this could be possible.
After
giving a lot of thought I had concluded a long lasting relationship had
something to do with destiny as we have heard the famous verse “Runanubandha
Rupena Pasu Patni Suta Aalaya”- meaning wife, pet, children and house are due
to karmic connections. Yes, completely agreed that it is purely due to destiny
that I get connected to people but whether to sustain that or break that
depends solely on me. It is possible for me to keep my relationship with other
stable and harmonious. All I need to do is be stable irrespective of the
circumstances and situations.
With
the thought that the same consciousness (Chaitanya) is imbibed in me and in the
person with whom I need to have a cordial relationship, I will have to
definitely stop blaming for a fault. It is the Ego which refuses to accept this
and needs to nail the person when he is at fault. If only I remove the veil of
the ego my relationship with other would be perfect as I would have considered
to Let Go! Unfortunately if I expect the same from my counterpart also it will
never work like that. When I start to overlook whether my counterpart has
choose to keep the ego or put it away and if it does not matter to my warmth
for him, the relationship is never lost. I know that there are some who would
take advantage if I behave so for such people I just ignore and avoid spilling
more fuel on the fire.
Is
it possible to live this way in this world? Can I remove the veil of the ego?
There are a few things which I need my intellect to tell my mind. My mind has
to be ever aware to be there at all times. Secondly my mind should always
remember that this lifespan is not all and that my connection with a person
though not accidental, it is not predominant but the person is. The
relationship survives due to the person not the other way round. If I lose a
relationship I will be losing the person not just the designation of the
relationship.
I
need to be prepared not to let any relationship to turn sour. If at all a
situation of such arises I need to communicate and clarify and take that
relationship soaring high. I need to let everyone within the relationship to
enjoy peace, love, abundance and oneness. No matter what is said or done I have
to see that I do not lose my people over trivial issues.
