One of the prime principles of how to love God is not to cause hurt to anyone for in every form, in each human being, in each entity, each grain of sand and every atom in the universe there is a soul and that soul is God. Therefore, learn to have regard and respect for everyone's particular preferences. Respect them for what they are. Respect them for what they want, what they wish, and what they do. He looks to us and He respects our wishes. He respects and responds to our yearnings and desires and longings in spite of the fact that they are not in consonance with what He desires for us. If you expect to be respected, if you expect to be looked up to, if you want to be honored, if you desire politeness, kindness, caring and consideration and sympathy, then you must give these things yourself. You must offer these to all those around you. It is but one of the many pathways to the golden key. Practice only one and you will attain it without doubt. For where one virtue is the other, qualities follow automatically.
