We must learn to see others as souls like ourselves, worthy of respect and understanding
Yes, spirituality can help in maintaining good relationships. I will cite several examples, where solutions are available in spirituality.Beginning with the common fault of seeing fault in others, don’t we have faults? Therefore, others must have too. How should we deal with this problem? Lord Krishna guides in the Bhagavad-Geeta, “We should not cause confusion in the minds of ignorant persons, rather should pacify.” (3.26) Let us assume that our assessment of other person is right.
Then, accept it and somehow manage the situation. We should be able to do so if we indeed are wise. Another common flaw is to get angry with someone and maintain anger. What benefit is there in doing so? All we will do is to cause harm to ourselves. The Geeta illuminates, “From anger, foolishness results; from foolishness, bewilderment results; from bewilderment, loss of intelligence occurs; and by the loss of intelligence, a person is doomed.” (2.63) This sequence is repeated in the lives of all those who harbour anger. How does spirituality help? Forgive and be done with it. What benefit will be derived by harbouring anger?
