Just recently it came to my mind that when I was small there was a children’s TV programme called “Die Sendung mit der Maus”, and I found it actually quite amazing that this particular story was shown twice. It really got my attention. This is the story:
There is a man living alone by himself, and in his room there also lives a spider. The man is very friendly and accepting of the spider and they form a kind of friendship.
One day the man brings his new girlfriend to his appartment. When she sees the spider she is scared and asks the man to kill the spider. And to my great shock he actually kills the spider for his girlfriend!
This left a deep impression with me, which only now (some 50 years later) makes me realize that the Supreme inspired me already from my childhood on to live according to higher values and aim for a deeper goodness.
The emotional impact in relationships can be quite strong, especially if people do not include spirituality into their relationship.
I feel it is so very important to keep this higher connection also in relationships so that our true and immortal part is not covered completely.
And I am eternally grateful to my Guru for blessing me with the spiritual life and with spiritual values.
It is still a secret but the Love affair directly with God is possible and according to the great Master Sri Ramakrishna is 10’000’000x more fulfilling than any human relationship can ever be.
There is a very inspiring book called “Initiation” by Elisabeh Haich, which gave me a first understanding of this sacred relationship.
When I started my spiritual journey I went to yoga classes in her school in Zürich…..
May you all be truly satisfied
Pranam
