RELATIONSHIP

One of the main aspect of human being which makes human life distinct from other species is relationships. Animal have no problem with relationships. They don't go for any counselling,neither tribal society have problem with relationships. More advance society faces the challenge of relationship.If a relationship is based on personal needs then it will not last longer.When need is fulfilled at emotional level,physical level then mind will look for something else from somewhere else. If the relationship is from level of sharing then it can last longer. If you know to row a boat then you can row any boat. If you don't know to row a boat then by changing the boat can not help, Changing the relationship does not solve the issue of relationship. Sooner or later you will be in the same situation in any relationship. We have to look some where else, deep with in us from where we start relating.What is our relationship towards us? Who are you to yourself? Do you know ? often we think "I am single,I am so bored being with my self.. So I need a companion,I need a relationship" .You are so bored by your own companion. How much boring you will be for someone else? Two people bored with themselves getting together, they boar each other.Love and boredom have something in common. What is it? Repetition. Go on repeating something then you get bored. Same thing is for love. You go on repeating " I love you..I love you". Say once that's enough. Some people write their lover name at trains,buses etc. Spiritual practice is also a repetition. Chanting a repeating same mantra. First it creates boredom and brings boredom in you. When you sustain boredom then spring of love gets open. When you realize that you are source of love and you are at giving end and not receiving end. Only and Only then your relationship can blossom.
