3 steps to turn an enemy into your friend

You would have often come across people whom you don’t get along well with. Some of them can be simply avoided without second thoughts. But, the problem lies with the ones whom you can’t. These could be the ones you are closely working with in your workspace or they could be even one of your family members. And if you think tolerating them can do any good- you’re wrong my friend. It will only worsen things for both of you.

Here’s when we offer you our time-tested 3 most effective steps to turn any bitter relationship into a pleasant one -

1. Understand that your karma was in action and not that person.

Vethathiri Maharishi was once asked by his disciple ‘how one can forgive someone who repeatedly has inflicted pain upon him’. Swamiji with his usual charismatic smile answered “No man can do harm to another without a previous link of cause and effect or Karma”

2. Thank him for shedding your karma
By putting you through a painful or unpleasant time, he has helped you reduce your baggage of indefinite karmic imprints. Now, that's a revelation. Wasn’t it ? Once you grasp this perspective, life becomes a lot easier.

3. Bless him
Though you suffered because of your karma, it came through that person because somewhere deep down his thoughts attracted your karma and it manifested into experience. So, by blessing him we help him purify his intentions and thoughts.

The law of nature works with millions and millions of links, connecting them with universal energy at every stage. The collective force used your friend to release your imprint into experience and so he did an act that gave you pain. Any action, whatever it may be, will not affect you unless there is a karmic imprint.

 Despite knowing all of this, are you still finding it hard to thank him and bless him? If yes, it is because you’re still holding onto that emotion; not letting it go.

Practices like pranayama and meditation, coupled with introspection will be helpful for you. They let you shed your karmic imprints and bring clarity to your thoughts.
