5 Ways Bhagavad Gita Can Help You Have Better Relationships
Bhagavad Gita teaches us all things that are needed in life. It is the oldest and most effective self-help book. We all fall in love, at some point in our lives, there is no human that has never experienced amorous relationships. Human relationships are complicated, especially love ones and are always punctured by despair and sorrow.
In this blog let us highlight the wisdom Gita has when it comes to modern day love relationships.
1. Love Conquers All
Lord Krishna in the Gita says that even I can be attained purely through love. Sages have said that love opens all doors. We make enemies from emotions like hate, anger, vengeance, and other, such feelings. People have to understand that we can win people to our sides by spreading love and losing such negative emotions. The need to be loved is omnipresent for every sentient being and no one can live without it.
2. Love Yourself and Love Everyone
Inner peace can only be begotten by self-awareness, once you truly understand yourself there will be only a sense of benign love in your being. This is the purest form of love has there is. Once you have this kind of love for yourself you will most certainly also love other people the same way. This kind of love is liberating, it helps one liberate from materialistic and emotional needs.
3. Focus on Love, Compassion, and Devotion
In Mahabharata, Lord Krishna says, “Do everything you have to do, but not with greed, not with ego, not with lust, not with envy but with Love, compassion, humility and devotion”.
Greed, ego, lust, and envy are a superior quality negative emotion, they lead to arousal of dismay from people. When we act from such emotions, we will never succeed, we will never make better relationships and only live a resentful life. These feelings can ruin a couple if harbored in a love relationship.
4. Be Generous
Gita teaches us to see others as ourselves. In love when we see others as ourselves we will not mistreat them. To have the easiest of love relationships put the other person first and see how beautiful your life becomes.
5. Love Without Expectations
It is quoted, “Love should set another person in love with us free”. One has to understand that all humans have the capacity to make errors. Humans are neither completely good or completely bad. They are an integration of mixed qualities. One has to make people understand their bad habits and not expect them to know everything.
