Everyone deserves someone to make you look forward to tomorrow, next week, next month, next year & the rest of your life.  Wink

  Yes i understand what you are saying Alfie. We use metaphors and oxymorons to describe ourselves and our lives. i just find it interesting: Here i am at the Mad Greek Restaurant again reminded of the Greek philosophers and suddenly i hear a woman in the booth next to me saying: "I know who i am. i do not know about you." i am thinking to myself do we even begin to recognize how we set up our lives thinking we do know who we are? We set ourselves up for so many surprises that way. But then again if we knew we would not be able to do the dance. The dance of life. Or at the very least it would be done in avery differnt manner.

It is just good to keep in mind we really can not imagine how a relationship will turn out. It is always much different than we were prepared to imagine. Many times in life we can look back and see that the person we looked forward towards tomorrow, next week, next month next year and the rest of our lives was no other than the one that walks in our shoes. Because when we look back we have learned incredibly from the experience of being alone. Yet we have been trained to believe aloness is somehow something banished or wrong.

Others can make us feel this way through the relationships that they boast about. That is O.K. People believe they need others to somehow affirm their existance and i am not speaking bad of such things. Yet have you ever stopped to think what we do to validify our lives? What subtle ways the ego needs to be pacified by outside influences? We as loners should often be very happy that spirit is leading us into and on a very important path for a time. A path into our own being where the source of all the joy and love we are looking for in others resides.

there is nothing wrong with being in a relationship.  there is nothing wrong with not being in a relationship.

soul craves unity.  soul craves oneness,,,sometimes soul looks for unity and oneness in human relationships instead of with god.

some say the only way back to god is to be a renunciant...not true.  an example of this is lahiri mahasaya.  he was a successful business man and married.

example of a successful renunciant...paramahansa yogananda.

god can be obtained either way.  both have their challenges.

love&hugs&om

Dear One

i think you are missing the point here dear Yoshi. Jitendra is very aware that there are many paths to the infinite beloved.
What he is saying if i may kindly say for him, is that there are some people who come in our lives in the name of love
who really do not bring what they claim to others. They really do not love but come and bring pain in other people's lives.
It is fortunate for them that there are other people who really do care and come to heal and not aggravate wounds from the
careless use of the word love.

I shower rose petals on you,  Smiley

Someday there will be nothing but love and
when that day comes there will be perfect
understanding. Until then we remain separated and
love has a longing. Recognizing our own need
for love  is the first step in that understanding.
Until then we only add to our misery by satisfying
our longings with people and situations
that only add to our longing
and disatisfaction. The love we are seeking we
draw to us and the more and more we are aware
of its presence the more our joy increases in
our knowing.  It is  hunting us down and seeking
us out because of our devotion to it.

Love is only painful because it
demands the death of all that we imagine we are.
Love is so much more than our manufactured
concepts. It may not be  either a relationship
or aloness. What makes us so sure that we can
describe it or live it the way we have
imagined itt?  Maybe that is part of the
difficulty we have with experiencing love.
We must be opem to however it
happens to manifest. Yet when we feel its
presence we are ready and willing to follow.

Many people speak of Lahiri Mahasaya and say look he was in a relationship and was an example to us all that we can have a relationship and still find God. i agree but we must remember that the wife of Ramakrishna was a saint and the wife of Lahiri Mahasaya was very spiritually developed herself. Do we have such partners in our lives? That is what i look for in a partner. Otherwise i can do my practices on my own.
