Spirituality is related to the human mind. When the mind is disturbed, spirituality is the only option to over come the disturbances.
Every person has got the spirit within that is dormant and not empowered. The human beings get disturbed because of taking in the worldly happenings and unexpected situations.
The first step to break this karmic cycle is for you to take responsibility for its presence in your life. Your soul agreed to be with this person because it was necessary for your spiritual progress. So forgiving yourself is the ultimate secret to healing everything in all directions of time.
The relationship that drives people crazy with anger and frustration are from a past life. These are the people who really get under your skin and exasperate you endlessly. Very often, these Karmic relationships are with people in your immediate family.
Merely thinking that compassion, reason and patience are good, will not be enough to develop them. We must wait for difficulties to arise and then attempt to practice them.
Who creates such opportunities? Not our friends, of course, but our enemies. So if we truly wish to learn, we should consider enemies to be our best teacher!
