Bringing It All Back Home | November 6, 2014
While an attitude of nonattachment is
essential, it would be sadly misguided to imagine we need to give up
love and affection for our children or other family members in order to
follow the Bodhisattva Way.

“The
great saboteur of peace in relationships is pride, and this pride is
serving fear. We must have humility in order to say ‘no’ to the
conditioning that makes us point the finger at others through blame.
This doesn’t mean looking away from their faults, but rather developing
an objective view of reality. In this objective view, there is no room
for the blaming game. There’s only space for what is true. This
objective viewpoint is only possible to attain through loving
consciousness.”
Sri Prem Baba
