Free your heart of violence. Make your home a heaven.

In whichever family the woman is disrespected and violated, in whichever family a girl child is violated that family can never prosper. They will lose their abundance.

Domestic violence during global crisis

Our current global crisis has taken many lives and many businesses.

This is obvious.

What is not visible to the naked eye, is the silent torture, that is going on in families all over the world.

Sadly domestic violence is on the rise in every Nation.

Often times, domestic violence is perpetrated by men. And during this period of lockdown, these men who are prone to violence are not going out for work.

Many of them are addicts of some kind.

Their frustration at being quarantined, and not being able to give in to their addictions, is being shown on innocent children and women.

I would ask every perpetrator of violence to introspect, and to break free of their inner aggression.

This would be the right time to do it.

No human being is born violent. Violence is not the true nature of any human being. It is an aberration that could have set in due to numerous reasons.

The first reason could be, that you have over the years allowed the fire of anger, the fire of suspicion and the fire of jealousy to grow in you, and consume you.

Is this your problem? Please reflect and see the truth. There is no shame in ever seeing the truth. It will transform you.

The second reason could be that you have a deep hunger to be loved, and you don't know how to fill your heart with love. You have somewhere equated love with control and having total authority over the other.

You want to own your partner or your children or daughter-in-law, like you own a piece of furniture.

This is something you must understand—Absolute obedience is never love; it is slavery.

Love is only possible between 2 people who respect each other.

When you hurt a person emotionally and physically, what they feel for you is fear or anger.

Love cannot arise in the heart of someone, in whom you have put fear. It cannot arise if you have insulted them.

If you want to be loved, it is never late, take the time- heal the hearts of people you have hurt.

Please reflect -Are you giving in to violence because you are hungry for love, and don't know how to find it, or, are you ashamed to ask for it with dignity and respect?

I want you to know this secret of consciousness - In whichever family the woman is disrespected and violated, in whichever family a girl child is violated- that family can never prosper. They will lose their abundance. They will not receive the grace of the divine.

If you really want to transform, take this step today.

Sit together with your family. Hold each others hands without shyness.

Ask the divine to bless you and your family, to live with peace and love, and to heal your hearts of all anger and bitterness.

With this prayer in your heart, You may either listen to this chant, or chant along.

You will certainly find the beginning of a great change in your life.

The mantra is Hamsa Sohan Ekam, which at its simplest level means I am in the devine, the divine is in me, we are one.

Later in the day, you may also want to take sometime and apologise to your loved ones, if you have ever been violent with them.

And it becomes important that as a family, you forgive and support anyone in the family who wants to transform, and is making an effort to grow.

Namaste
