We cannot blame our problems or the worlds problems on others, its something we can come to know in ourselves. The more we make friends with ourselves we will see our mistaken thinking that the way to happiness is to blame somebody else for our problems.
We ourselves are the battleground for good and evil, there is no need to look beyond our world. Everything to be understood is within us. All that must be transcended, the pain and scars of the past, is within us. All the power of transcendence is within us.
Don’t look at evil as a force to resist, but simply as an opaqueness, a state of self-absorption which is in disharmony with the universal process so that, as with a dirty window, the light cannot shine through. This allows you great compassion for the wicked and the selfish.
Every relationship between individuals bears in it the danger that a wrong turn may be taken, leading to misunderstandings and disagreements. If you remain mindful and aware, you will succeed in avoiding the pitfalls that confront close relationships with others.
Quote: We are one. Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself. Rumi
