Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 862 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
There is an interesting concept about the difference between water and fire. You see, the two cannot quite live together; let me explain.
If water comes too close to fire, it will extinguish it. If the fire on the other hand is too hot, then it will make the water evaporate. So how do these two live together? There is a way they can live together. If you put the water in a pot and there is a metal separating them both, then the fire can go under the pot and heat up the water. Isn’t that interesting?
Now, from those two antithetical entities, there is now peace between them and they can live together, and the fire is helping the water become boiled so that you can use it for different things: to take a bath, to drink a cup of tea or coffee, to do whatever you wish with it.
You see, what that it needs, however, is that “separation”. So let me give you perhaps some advice, if I may.
Between a couple, there always has to be a time of separation. One represents water and the other one represents fire. Men and women are very different from each other and when they come close to one another, they try, many times, unfortunately, to extinguish the other and they want to take over, they want to be “in charge”. Let me just say that there is a way to work together and, that is to use the concept of the pot. Make it a separation between the water and the fire so that there is a line. That separation is called “respect”. By respecting the other person, both the water and the fire can live together. This is what the metal pot does: it creates a separation and that separation allows for both of these elements to live with one another and work together towards the betterment of life.
Same thing with a relationship. When you are with someone and they are opposite of you, which typically they are because it says, “opposite attract one another”, you should create a separation, a boundary. This boundary will help both of you unite and be together in a respectful way with love, kindness and patience. You will be able to work together and be happy with one another. Not only that, the results of that relationship will really become as marvelous and beautiful as it is when the water is heated by the fire. So that’s what everyone needs: a separation which creates integration.
