Relations

Rama asked Anjaneya (Hanuman) how He was related to him. Hanuman replied. When I feel I am this body, I am related to you as a servant to his Master; when I feel I am the individualised soul, I am related to you as the reflection in the mirror is to the Original that is before it. When I know that I am the Universal Soul, and that all other, appearances are futile fancy, I am related to you, no, I am You, You are I’. So; so long as you are bound to the superstition that you are the Body, with the Name given to it as your name and the Form in which it appears to others as your ‘Form’ you must take up the attitude of ‘Servant’, with God as Master, with all others as Master and wipe out the ego, by constant denial of its demands. (S, pp. 46-47)

 

Man is born with many relationships, like father, mother, relatives and friends. All these are created by the world. When he gets married, he has a wife. Later, he has children. Thereafter, he has grandchildren. Thus, his relations go on increasing without any limit. As the relations grow, his desires also grow without limit. Man will be happy if he reduces his desires. Less luggage, more comfort. Reduce your luggage. Develop courage and confidence. These are not the qualities you can borrow from others. You yourself have to develop them with patience and perseverance. (SSS Vol.39, p.117)
