I found this phrase in one of J Krishnamurthy's teachings. I am sure most of us have realized at some part of our life time between ourselves and different relationships. So thought of sharing with you guys.
Relationships may be anything: Child, Spouse, friend, neighbor, sibling, student, teacher, parents, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. When we get to meet someone, our mind will group this person under on of our relationship groups. By having constant meeting/relationship with this person, we get habituated to the process and build our expectations about this person. We explore the person's personality with our little experience and build this expectation. Apparently, at some stage, this exploration seems to be stopped and we set a strong opinion or expectation on this person. When this person behaves different to our expectations, we get upset and fail to respond to our senses. This also leads to the failure to accept the changes in others by changing ourselves. Yes, we need to change ourselves from being habituated to any relationships and be open minded to accept the change in others. Life needs to get going with lots of unexpected consequences. Only if we have ability to accept the changes around us, we can enjoy this life with love else end up in misery.
