SPIRITUAL MARRIAGE

I have been writing this for a while now.

 

I have taken some time in composing these thoughts about an ideal

marriage, or I call it as a "spiritual marriage". There is so much

which entails after a marriage, some weep, some cry, some are

unhappy, some are happy, some are insecure, the list goes on and

on................I focussed on all of this by simply FOCUSSING on

the SELF.

 

Hope I am able put my thoughts across. If not, it is fine too :-).

 

The last paragraph in my article is the WHOLE ESSENCE of what I am

trying to say.

 

Marriage

 

A husband and wife have great responsibilty towards each other. They

should see each other as DIVINE. The husband should be GOD for the

wife, and the wife should be GOD for the husband. If they can see

each other in this WAY, it will be good for both of THEM.

 

The husband and wife should live together not just to satisy their

sensual desires, but to satisfy the INNER SELF. Both should be aware

of GOD in all their activities, as they attend to every single part

of their daily schedule. They should be absorbed in each other, they

should love each other, but that does not mean that they should

always be "sensual" together. That kind of love means nothing. MEANS

NOTHING!!!!!

 

The sanskrit word for wedding is "panigrahana", which means "hold

each others hands". Both husband and wife should have trust towards

each other; they should maintain that trust and live with it.If they

do not surrender to each other, if there i smistrust between them,

then they will be married in the morning and divorced in the

evening.If they hold themselves back from each other, if they do not

give themselves to each other completely the marriage breaks up.

 

An ideal spiritual union is that in which the husband and wife have

become so absorbed in each other that when the husband eats, the

wife is satisfied, and when the husbadn eats, the wife is satisfied.

The dharma, duty, of marriage is that the husband and wife would

live together as though they were ONE. If they remain two, there is

no point to the marriage. Only the words husband and wife should be

different. The two people should be ONE. The wife should become the

husbands soul, and the husband should become the WIFE's soul

(Navamsa :-)). They should each live for the benefit of the other,

not selfishly.This is an ideal spiritual marriage.

 

In such a marriage, the husband and wife remain immersed in GOD all

the time. If their awareness is continually in GOD, if they live

without attachement or animosity, their life together will be the

playground of GOD. The child that comes from SUCH a UNION will be a

great BEING. MARK THIS!! A GREAT BEING. And this child will do

tremendous work in the world. This is the kind of marriage that

scriptures recommend. If you lead your household life with great

understanding and according to the scriptures, there will be great

JOY in it.

 

The purpose of leading a family life is to learn to love the members

of your family more and more. If you cannot love your family, HOW

CAN YOU LOVE GOD? You experience love first of all for other people;

only later do you turn it towards GOD. However, we use this kind of

life to learn how to hate each other. If a husband and wife have NO

SELF CONTROL and NO LOVE FOR GOD, then both of them will beat their

heads and constantly weep. But if they live together with great

respect, worshipping GOD, there will be no weeping in their family.

 

 

Om Tat Sat.

 

Aum Shanti Shanti Shanti.
