Before blaming others for making us feel a certain way, let's learn to ask "what is it in me that got triggered by their actions?" Every emotion and feeling takes place within us! Everytime others trigger a pain response, it's a perfect opportunity to reflect on where it is coming from and how it was created! In this way, all relationships become mirrors: to deeply understand and know ourselves π

βThere is no conflict in you, the Self. If there is conflict, it is between thought and thought. As long as the sense of βIβ and 'otherβ is believed, conflict is inevitable. Through self-inquiry confirm again and again: I am the Self, the complete and indivisible whole.β

Q. Dear Bhagavan, what is Oneness spirit, Bhagavan?
Sri Bhagavan: Oneness spirit means first of all you must realize that there is no sameness in the world, nor is it possible, nor is it desirable. We are all different. We create the other and the other is creating us. We are all mutually dependent. The beauty is we're all different. But we're all one. Realizing this is the spirit of Oneness. Seeing how the other is different. And because of that the other is helping you. If we all were the same, there would be no humanity at all. Appreciating this difference is what we call Oneness. When you see this, you are filled with love for the other. You would develop concern for the other. You would develop care for the other and you would become responsible for the other. That is the spirit of Oneness.

In Sufi terms the crushing of the ego is called Nafs Kushi.
And how do we crush it?
We crush it by sometimes taking ourselves to task. When the self says, 'O no, I must not be treated like this,' then we say, 'What does it matter?' When the self says, 'He ought to have done this, she ought to have said that,' we say, 'What does it matter, either this way or that way? Every person is what he is; you cannot change him, but you can change yourself.' That is the crushing... It is only in this way that we can crush our ego.

ββ75. Know that a flawless yogi is one who does not ever allow himself to be swayed by desire for the pleasures of the senses, who frees himself at heart from mamakara treating things as "mine", who has a steadfast mind, who is free from desires and fear, and who always revels in the Self.
