Sadhvi Bhagawatiji:
How can we have spiritual relationships? Conscious relationships?
Before we can have conscious relationships with others, we must have one with ourself, and the only way to have one with ourself is in truth, deep truth.
And the deepest truth in our relationships with others is that WE, not the other, are the cause of any internal reaction we experience.
You do not make me angry.
If I am angry it is because I have chosen to respond to something with anger.
We must first be conscious of and with ourselves, and then take full responsibility for our own emotional states.
We must stop blaming others.
That is the basis, the first non-negotiable step in a spiritual, conscious relationship.
