Seeing the truth of all relationships with beings and things

All kinds of relationship with beings and things don't exist to the minds that are free from ignorance and egoism.

All kinds of relationship/connection between 'I' and other beings and things exist due to the perception of separateness out of ignorance and egoism.

Upon the realization of non-separateness/oneness, being free from ignorance and egoism, there's neither 'I' nor 'I' am being separated/different from something that is not 'I', and hence, there's no 'I' and something that is separated/different from 'I' being connected in a form of relationship.

There's neither being in certain relationships nor not being in any relationship.

There's neither good relationship nor bad relationship.

There's neither craving towards 'good relationships' nor aversion towards 'bad relationships'.

Upon seeing the truth of all kinds of 'relationship' with all beings and things, the mind is free from all kinds of suffering/affliction/painful sorrow/fear/worry derived from attachment/identification/clinging/craving/aversion towards all kinds of beings and things.

'Relationship' and the attachment/identification/values/meaningfulness/gratefulness/appreciation towards good relationships with family, friends and relatives, and other form of beings and things exist in the minds that are under the influence of ignorance and egoism.

It's very difficult for the minds to see the truth when there is intense attachment/identification/clinging/craving/aversion towards the existence or absence of all kinds of good and bad relationship with different form of beings and things that the mind likes and dislikes, agrees with and disagrees with, and desires and doesn't desire. These minds sway restlessly and ceaselessly between happiness/joy/meaningfulness and unhappiness/painful sorrow/meaninglessness, being determined by the existence or absence of desirable and undesirable 'relationships' with all beings and things.

The body and mind that was born into a 'family' and a living environment with many kinds of difficulty, challenge and suffering, and be surrounded by 'friends' and 'relatives' that are under the influence of ignorance and egoism, is considered 'a good and auspicious transition' on the path of yoga, that helps this mind to be determined and undistracted towards transcending the mind perception/modification of impermanent and selfless worldly life existence of names and forms.

When the mind is still under the influence of ignorance and egoism, this kind of difficult/challenging/disharmony 'relationships' with 'family', 'friends' and 'relatives' are being perceived as the cause of 'suffering' for this mind. The mind falls into a state of bitterness/dissatisfaction/disappointment/meaninglessness/depression/anger.

When this mind is free from ignorance and egoism, this kind of difficult/challenging/disharmony 'relationships' with 'family', 'friends' and 'relatives' are indeed 'the teachings', 'the Dharma', 'the teacher' and 'the stepping stones' that lead the mind towards liberation. There's no bitterness/dissatisfaction/disappointment/meaninglessness/depression/anger exists in this mind.

Most minds forgo the path of dispassion and renunciation to silent/annihilate the modification of the mind to transcend impermanent and selfless worldly life existence due to attachment/identification/clinging onto and appreciating/indulging in good/harmonious/desirable 'relationships' with 'family', 'friends' and 'relatives' as well as other beings and things that are impermanent. And that's their freedom for what they think and feel and desire.

The dispassionate minds see the truth of all kind of 'good or bad relationships', and be free.

About Yoga

Know thyself. Everything is impermanent and selfless. There is no 'I'. There is no 'I am selfless'/'I am not selfless'. There is no 'I am hurt'/'I need to be healed from hurt'. Non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing and non-blind propagating, but be open-minded to inquire the truth of everything. Be free. Be peaceful. Be happy.
