Question: A couple of years ago, right after a congress, my friend and I had a big fight. We had such mutual hatred between us that we still cannot overcome it. What could you advise to overcome it?

Answer: Rise above it. You have to imagine that this is not your hatred, but something that is given to you so that you can overcome it together.

I have a student who periodically quarrels with his boss at work, and the boss threatens to fire him every time, although he is a very good specialist.

Once he came to me and said: “Probably, the boss will fire me after all. But I can’t do anything about that. I do not agree with him. What should I do? If I get fired, I will feel bad, but I cannot stay with him either.”

Then I told him: “As your spiritual teacher, I order you to go to him and say: “I hate you one hundred percent. But I have a teacher whom you know, and he ordered me to make peace with you and love you.” Since then they have been wonderful friends again.

We need to act the same way because, at each degree, we will uncover mutual hatred to rise above it into love. Hatred again, then love again. Hatred again, then love again. And that is how we rise.
