You have been continually for decades serving humanity to create more peace, harmony, alignment, congruency, joy, abundance, and fulfillment in life. And so I want to acknowledge you for your continual service and how you show up for the world. It's a beautiful thing. And I wanted to ask you first about how can we forgive the people that have hurt us the most? Whether intentionally they tried to hurt us, whether they are emotionally abusive, verbally, physically abusive, or unintentionally we interpreted they did something that hurt us. How do we learn to let go of that hurt and pain?
I want to ask a counter question. Why do you want to forgive?
Why do you want to forgive? Well, what happens if we don't forgive? It's very painful, right? We hold on to stress and- that's it. Yeah.
That's it. See, you are forgiving somebody so that you could be free. Otherwise they occupy your upper chamber and trouble you day and night, right? It's not for the other person. You are giving forgiveness. It's for your own sake. You don't want to punish yourself. You don't want to carry the garbage. You don't want to carry stress. You want to be free. Right. And you just I might forget and forgive and move on.
But why is it so hard for people? Some people hold on to that anger and resentment for years. And it's so hard for them to let go of the pain.
I tell them, see, if you find it hard to let go, don't struggle. Do the easy way. Is it easy to hold on to the grudge?
It's painful.
What appears to be easy is not easy. And what appears to be difficult is not difficult. We must wake up and see this. This is the fact. You know, you are holding grudge against somebody and you are creating toxins in your own body and you are spoiling your health. You are spoiling your mood. You go with sleepless nights, so do the easiest one.
Right, exactly. Speaking on relationships, I feel like life is about relationships. The relationship we have to ourselves, the relationship to others, the universe, all these different things. It seems to me like a lot of people are struggling in intimate relationships these days, finding a healthy partner, and relationship. Why do you think it's so hard for people to attract a healthy partner and really keep a happy, healthy relationship?
Coming back to the previous point you said about forgiveness. You know, usually we think forgive, when we forgive somebody, we think we are doing a favour to someone. It's not so. That's secondary, that's only a side effect. Favor to others is a side effect, but it's favoring yourself. Every time you are angry, you are punishing yourself for someone else's mistake.
Right. So you get double the pain. They hurt you and you keep hurting yourself.
Yeah. Wow. Coming to this, why we attract people, how do we manage that? You know, it all depends on our vibrations.
Our vibrations.
Our vibrations. See, if our vibrations are positive, then DvAii attracts such people. If our vibrations are negative or doubtful or, you know, greedy sometimes. And so we get into relationship with people who have similar, you know, similar vibes. Have you heard about this? I mean, we have all heard about these sayings, no birds of the same feather flock together.
Yeah, of course.
So we need to improve our own vibrations. We seldom pay attention to that.
What should our vibrations be and how can we get them to.
