It is necessary to proclaim the existence of relationship – that is, mutuality, communion, genuine understanding.



Fight the idealization of romantic love. Do not idolize any particular person. Spending more than fifty percent of your time or energy on a personal relationship is a crime against humanity.
Relationship is not possible where there is greed.
Don’t disappear in circles of private happiness. Don’t take the small, easy way.
Ask for depth in every relationship, at least a little. Learn to see those who are invisible. For example, older people or those in poverty.
Focus on how you agree with others, not on how you differ.
Instead of fighting against those causing harm, try help them. Protect yourself and others. But look upon them with the eyes of a mother.
Do not mislead or take advantage of others for your own benefit.
Look for the higher nature in anyone, the grandeur of any living being. Ask for depth in every relationship, at least a little. Every interaction is an opportunity to grasp the mystery of separateness and brotherhood.
Do not pursue your own personal interests until the effects on others outer and inner state are taken into account.
See yourself as others.
Discuss the possibility of good, true, love and beauty.
Be faithful to all relationships. Faithfulness toward a spouse or partner is important. But it’s just one example of faith. Never give up on a relationship, on anyone. We should be faithful to everyone. A relationship should not come entirely to an end because of changed interests, accidents, betrayal, or forgetfulness. All personal bonds are indelible, permanent. Resolve all broken relationships.
Review those with whom you have a broken relationship, and how to take steps forward.
Help others achieve freedom. Because we need freedom for the utmost. Money, work, affection, support.
Support anyone who is sensitive to life, especially if what is important in their future is endangered. Serve not only external but the underlying needs.
Discover the transcendent in the particular. Of course, the particular person is necessary for a relationship. But every relationship is just an example of your one and only real relationship: the depth of your concern for another, what your true interests are, what you really care about.
Welcome anyone on this path.


Become capable of seeing yourself in others
“Relationship is not possible where there is greed, ambition and hope. Love comes only when the mind is quiet…If you have no love, you cannot resolve any social problem. You can go into politics, exhibit faith, try to reform the poor, write books or poems, but you are a dead human being.” J. Krishnamurti

Don’t take advantage of anyone
“I will not deceive, or cause to be deceived, any human being for my gain or pleasure; nor hurt, or cause to be hurt, any human being for my gain or pleasure; nor rob, or cause to be robbed, any human being for my gain or pleasure.” John Ruskin

Discuss the possibility of good, true, love and beauty
"The beauties of the body are as nothing to the beauties of the soul, so that wherever he meets with spiritual loveliness, even in the husk of an unlovely body, he will find it beautiful enough to fall in love with and to cherish – and beautiful enough to quicken in his heart a longing for such discourse as tends toward the building of a noble nature." Plato

Try to find out how you agree with others
“At every moment of our lives we should be trying to find out, not in what we differ from other people, but in what we agree with them; and the moment we find we can agree as to anything that should be done, kind or good, (and who but fools couldn’t?) then do it; push at it together.” John Ruskin

See yourself as others
“Practice until you see yourself in the cruelest person on Earth, in the child starving, in the political prisoner. Continue until you recognize yourself in everyone in the supermarket, on the street corner, in a concentration camp, on a leaf, in a dewdrop.” Thich Nhat Hanh

Never give up on anyone. (Faithfulness)
