(Kadamba Kanana Swami,June 2011, Stockholm, Sweden, Lecture )
Friendship ultimately means commitment. To make a commitment to another person, not just giving a gift, but to make a commitment that, “Yes, I accept you. Yes, I am interested in your benefit.”
These things have to be there, “I’m open to hear you. I’m open to respect you.”
Friendship requires all these things, “I take you seriously.”
So many things are there in friendship!
