Title: Bhaktananda Getting Along With Roommates Post by: Jitendra Hydonus on Aug 20, 2015 05:18 am Bhaktananda Getting Along With Roommates 7/18/84 Before you take one on, discuss and decide: Issues related to noise (harmonium, TV etc) Cleaning - for example drying dishes and putting them away, or leaving them out to dry on “their own”. Either way is OK, but “I personally prefer putting them away each time.” Exercise Talk – Don’t let issues build up. To always be happy, just do what is right. If we allow others to take and take it weakens them. We all have to learn to serve. Everything in life is a test. We should have this attitude all the time. Every emotion, thought and circumstance. Use a Calendar to mark duties – alternate kitchen cleaning with cleaning the rest of the house or apartment. Do not divide duties in half. This will cause arguments. Go 60% of the way. Relax and have faith in one another. Respect our fellow devotees as we respect Master. Play your harmonium softly. Place a blanket on top to mute it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
