Give your conflicts time and space. In so doing, wisdom is given the opportunity to emerge from within you. Thereby, you will gain others’ respect.

~

Where there is mutual respect, relationships flourish. Where there is disrespect, little can be achieved.  With time and space, the situation is given the opportunity to come back into balance.  Where there is balance, there is respect.

~

Show respect even for the disrespectful yet without disrespecting yourself.

~

The are only three elements (gunas) involved in all of your life: you, the ‘object’ lying outside of you, and the relationship between the two.  One defines the other. Like three balls being juggled in the air, there is no bottom line upon which the three rest in place.  The ever changing dynamic defines the realities… defines the view each has of the other.

~

Your life is all about your relationship with people.  Nothing and no one within the dynamic can be defined absolutely.  Each reality has its own perspective.  Yet so many seek the bottom line upon which they feel life will finally find perfect balance.

~

Perfect lies only in the abstraction of the transcendental… beyond the grasp of anything within space and time… just as balance is not found within the balls being juggled.  Instead balance lies within the juggler who eternally remains behind the scene, beyond the control of all three balls.

~

Do not lose yourself within the three gunas.  See beyond relativity, while still juggling within the relativities of life.
