Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Namaste IMHO, Within illusion. We have karmic responsibilities that are attachments not relatives. God is one and cannot be divided into mother, father, children, grandchildren. All people in the world are our brothers and sisters, even our family. Our family are people we have some karmic destiny with, we are supposed to love them without attachment as we should love all people. Nobody is special everybody is special as God. To take it a step further, not being judgmental as God cannot be divided into more and less; the animals and all beings are our brothers and sisters as St Francis would address them. The feeling of special relative or family comes from the sense of mine and the ego; my child, my grandchild etc, as opposed to my neighbours grandchild. Hard to do separate love from attachment...............ONS...Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
