Family Situations
The harmony of the home is broken by unkindness, often stemming from a failure to adapt roles with love and respect.
Many relationships deteriorate after the initial years, frequently due to harsh communication where one partner, often portrayed as the wife, adopts a dictatorial attitude. This creates unhappiness and stress. A cited example is a high-ranking professional who struggles and suffers health consequences when forced to abruptly switch from a commanding role to menial domestic tasks upon returning home. This illustrates a lack of harmonious adjustment. The essence of yoga, meaning 'yoke,' teaches that two forces, like a husband and wife, must pull the family coach with equal, harmonious speed, controlled by the mind. To create happiness, use loving language and express admiration to your partner. Ultimately, analyze your own life; the fault first lies within our own changing attitudes, selfishness, and ego. By looking inward, we find we must improve ourselves through prayer and meditation.
"Women should never give up a kind, loving language, and husbands should never give up a kind, loving, and respectful language."
"I went to see the bad things, but I did not find anyone bad. When I searched my heart, there was no one worse than me."
