Conflict Relolution- Kasyapa sutras

[Guest guest]

NAMASTE

 

Tonight in class Swami was speaking about relationships. In the

family, husband is Lord Shiva, and wife is Divine Mother. Each should

treat the other with the highest respect and love. In fact, in an

ideal relationship, husband does Durga puja to wife as Mother Divine,

and wife does Shiva puja to husband, every Monday.

This will help each partner begin to see the Divine in each other. As

that experience grows, then they will be able to see the Divine in

more and more people. Marriage is a powerful technique to help bring

the couple to God. Treating each other as Mother Divine and Lord

Shiva, what a goal. This is an ideal marriage.

Swami then took questions. One female devotee asked Swami when she

should " stand up for her rights " when her husband has been too

demanding or not treating her with respect.

Swami replied: When there is heat, when husband is upset, do not

confront him then. That will only make matters worse. Better to walk

away. Keep centered. Do not engage on the level of ego. Then later,

when he has cooled down and the time is right, talk to him. Ask him

if you should follow the example of his behavior. Without the heat

and anger, this will help the husband to see that you want the best

for him and yourself.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
