Institution of marriage is an important aspect of our life and society. When the civilizations were evolving, the basis of this concept was companionship and love. Over the period of time as societies became more civilised and evolved many more aspirations and expectations got attached to this relationship. I have come across two kinds of married couples around me. There are partners who are connected like two hilltops. Two very separate entities on the top but certainly connected at the base somewhere. And the best part is, you cannot find out where one ends and the other begins. Their energies and consciousness are so aligned and in rhythm with each other that they can communicate without words or actions. Then there are couples who are like two adjoining islands in the sea. They are connected by the virtue of families and children they share symbolizing sea around them. They exist together in the Sea, but their lives go on independently. Their energies and rhythm are so different that they appear to be strangers to each other at times. I always wonder, if the concept of soulmate is for real? But then I do see couples around me who are the perfect definition of this phenomenon. So what is that, the island couples have between them and why did they come together in first place? The only answer I could think of this question is, may be this is what the karmic retribution is all about. Two people in matrimony or a romantic relationship connect with each other on different levels like physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. If there is a disconnect at any of the levels, that’s when the problems arise in the relationship. If a couple is willing to work on their differences and gaps they definitely are soulmates and taking their relationship to the next level. But if one of the partners is not invested equally or doesn’t want to acknowledge or accept the differences definitely it is a karmic connection. Destiny which is believed to be the result of karma is trying to teach an important lesson to the spiritual being, which he or she has been disregarding or eluding to learn. Every relationship good or bad every event happy or sad occurs with a purpose of our spiritual growth and awakening. But again to understand the underlying messages or learnings from universe, the spiritual beings need to be in synch with their own consciousness. Self-realization or awareness sounds so simple and easy to ears but is the most complex concern one can have. Grasping the objective, purpose and way forward for our existence is a daunting task and lesson to learn. Let’s be happy and spread happiness around us in this journey of selfdiscovery and awakening called life.
