Relations with others
We are aware of so many circumstances of life, but it is very difficult to know how we can relate in a positive way to others. The reason for this is that we do not know who the others are. We do not even know who we are, and how all of us came into existence. Nevertheless, there is one thing we can understand or we can feel. We know that we have to establish relationships with others. And of course, the more these relationships are loving and sweet, that more we are likely to feel happy and fulfilled. On the contrary, everyone knows the suffering and problems that are a result of disturbed relationships.
In order to establish loving relationships, we have to find a common denominator. What is common and acceptable to all of us? There may be some group of relative interests and people may find themselves fully satisfied with these interests, but practically seen and understood by the Vedic wisdom, all these interests are temporary. They can change at any moment and we may find ourselves again in a problematic situation. So our common denominator, if we are ready or not to accept it, is the Creator of the whole existence. He is father and mother at the same time and by that fact we are all brothers and sisters in a very special way. It is really breathtaking to imagine that we are all brothers and sisters. This is the truth. We can even see it with our own eyes. Let us look at Mother Nature. Mother Nature is everybody’s mother and nobody can deny and say I came out of myself, I supplied my own ingredients and I do not have to say thank you to anybody. No. We are all standing in front of Mother Nature with reverence and have to submit to Her laws, whether we like it or not. So if we consider nature, the material nature, as our mother, then we have to understand that there must be a father also. The Vedas explain that Mother Nature, has been impregnated by the supreme power of all the powers. And that is the sweet will of God.
