Question

Dear and venerated Kosen,

Somebody whom I do not know very well is always in my spirit and I feel when he has problems or when he thinks of me. Are we connected by our karma? Should I take charge of him? It makes me perplexed because that has occurred for 5 months and that had never happened to me before. I do not know either how I must come to terms with him, or how to make him leave my spirit. It is very disconcerting, because I seldom meet him.
Thank you for the time you spent reading my email.
Sincerely yours
