Recently we have been talking about friendship. i decided to go back to Brother Bhaktananda's thread about friendship. At the same time i 'accidentally' opened up the SRF lessons to Lesson #4 on 'Friendship'.

Paramahansa Yogananda states:

"When perfect friendship exists either between two hearts or within a group of hearts in a  spiritual relationship, such friendship perfects each individual".

"One who has given his friendship to another gladly foregoes selfish pleasures or self-interest for the sake of his friends happiness, without consciousness of loss or sacrifice, and without counting the cost."

"Divine friendship has its foundation  in service on the spiritual and intuitional planes, and is unconditional and everlasting."

To me this covers many issues about initial skepticism about meeting someone. We can expand our friendship and we have the ability to do so here on this site. If issues of sexuality or past difficulties with other people arise we simply do not have to get that close to them or can distance ourselves or respect the wishes of others until and if we feel comfortable. It becomes a challenge when someone refuses to let another have these liberties as a friend.
