In his web broadcast today, Sant Rajinder Singh Ji Maharaj spoke of how we can enjoy harmonious relationships with everyone around us, leading to peace and calm in our lives.
When we think of the many types of challenges that disturb our peace, trouble and disharmony in our relationships make the list. Whenever we are at odds with our loved ones, friends, colleagues, neighbors, or others around us, it causes turmoil in our lives and can bring pain and suffering. So, what is the secret to harmonious relationships?
Turmoil and disharmony arise because we see ourselves as distinct and separate from those around us. Driven by our ego, we live in a world of duality, of us and others. In such a world, we are always at odds with others. We consider ourselves distinct and better, and we judge others from this place. The secret to loving and harmonious relationships is to discover the unity of life. This happens when we embark on the inner spiritual journey through meditation and realize our true essence as soul, a part of God. We then also recognize that a part of God resides in everyone else. When we see life through the lens of our soul, our outer differences vanish, and we realize we are all one and part of the same family of God. Our perspective is altered, and we embrace a life of unity and oneness, where love reigns.
