Passion
for Relationships and Compassion for Self
With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, Dr. Kondoor V.
Abraham is currently on the graduate faculty of St. Thomas
University, Miami, Florida, U.S.A. His radio program
called 'LifeChangers' is heard in many parts of the world,
giving solution to the problems of daily living. He is
also the author of Lifechangers, A collection of 52
inspirational Radio Talks and The Asian Indian in the
United States, A Handbook for Counselors and Educators.
Among the many things that I observed from over two
decades of psychological counseling, two are: (1) our need
for relationships and (2) the need for us to be
compassionate toward ourselves. Most of our problems are
relationship-based, and what bothers us most is what
people think of us. For example, it is not what we think
of our poverty, but what people think of our poor
condition. It is not what we think of our illness, but
what others think of our illness. It is not what we think
of our failure, but what people think of our failure. As a
matter of fact, we develop emotional distress by
contemplating what people think of us. That is my first
observation. The second one is that sometimes we are too
hard on ourselves. We have difficulty forgiving ourselves.
We cannot accept our imperfections. Very often, we push
ourselves to the limits with our habits, our passions, and
our desire to do better than others. In essence, we are
not kind to ourselves. Sometimes, we even punish
ourselves. Our need for improved relationships and our
need for compassion toward self are two major themes in
this book.

God
is Love Upanishad
Without secret no success is achieved in this life. This
life is so valuable to you. Please don’t waste it. This
lifetime is like a pot with the hole, drop by drop is
falling from it. It never stops till it is finish. The
result of it is that we are going to get death one day in
our life. No one knows when the lifetime is going to be
empty. If you don’t know this, then from now, please don’t
sleep quiet. Don’t run, for God doesn’t run for
success. You are not going to get anything without His
secret. So secret key in this book, you will find “Go
over death.” These are three words to understand very
carefully. “Go” is to leave, to leave has the aim. Aim
is the goal. “Over” is the distance to cross. As we
say go over road, go over bridge, go over water by boat.
Like that is said Go over death. Only death proof-self can
go over it, so we are! After birth and before death,
in-between we are death proof-self. We never die in that
period. We are eternal, immortal in between that period of
life. So why don’t we wake up and realize that. We are
alive in our self! With the name of God, go over death and
see what you are! That road you will attain through the
teacher. Be his or her student and learn all about God,
Self, Soul, Life and Love. Death means no mind, no
intellect, no life, but soul is always present. Before
birth is present, in the life is present and after death
is present. We have been given time period to know,
realized only in this human birth. Teaching is the door of
learning, learning is the door of understanding, and
understanding is the door of peace. So peace is the seat
of the self. That self you are! Your soul is in you and
you are not out from the soul. All souls are of Supreme
Soul. This is the knowledge of God is Love. Go over death
is the secret key. Where death shows the picture, life is
not anymore. You can see no more all the time. No more
money in the pocket you can see, while you are alive. So
what you do? Stop shopping and return back home for that
day. Few words in last I will say. Help God to help you
where ever you need help from Him. Please don’t do such
a thing as to stop God to help you.
