MANAGING RELATIONSHIPs:

Dear Friends,

Once again I’ve an opportunity to project my views to you upon “Relationship and Managing Relationships”

The dictionary defines relationship as “The manner in which two or more people are connected or are in the state of being connected”.

I personally feel to classify relationship as : 1) Personal Relationships and 2) The Professional relationship.

Personal Relationships:

"I express my gratitude and offer my Thanks to my Sadhguruji for elaborating on “Relationships”.

I still come across individuals who look towards relationships as their asset instead of as a mere expression of Joy and happiness.

Philosophically: The needs within the human-being have risen because of the sense of incompleteness, therefore people start building relationships. Thus to experience the sense of completeness within themselves humans form relationship. Obviously when human beings do not have relationship they feel incomplete.

Why does the human being feel incomplete without relationship?

The reason is very factual; the basis of relationship is complex and based on “expectations”. These expectations are endless. It is then; no human being on this universe can fulfil expectations. Therefore in this process of holding relationship, the first moment of meeting may be common, but as every step of life goes ahead the expectations between such humans holding relationship do change.

Now, as these expectations keep on changing between individual, their expectations do not remain consistent. This is the very origin of “Conflict” within premises between such individuals. Something which we can conclude as 'Strained Relationship'.

What will happen if you do not have relationships? 

Well- One will feel ‘depressed.’ In fact every individual wants to seek relationship to remain happy and Joyful. However if you use the other as a source of Your happiness & the other individual is also using you as a source of his happiness then, both such individuals are in the process of “Seeking” happiness from each other. Hence if individuals try to seek and squeeze happiness from somebody then, such relationship becomes painful and will not last.

This means relationships cannot be built on expectations, that is, every individual needs to be an expression of happiness. Individuals should not build relationships as for seeking happiness but to be an expression of happiness.

Friends, I will continue with the part of “Professional Relationship Management” soon.

My Humble gratitude to Sadhguruji.

Thanks a lot.
