If you look upon your spouse as a conveyor of Divine love and do unto your relation as you should do unto the Divine, and if your spouse too responds accordingly, your married lives will surely grow into a blossom of love. Aren't your relations divine manifestation? Should you serve them devotedly, though without attachment? Mother, father, everyone, everything, are all His. I have come here only for a certain role. That's all right. Then, I shall have to go. Everybody shall have to go. So how can you say 'he is my son, she is my daughter, he is my husband, she is my wife'? That is all destiny. Nobody is anybody's anything. that is all farce. Everybody, everything, everywhere...are all the same. There is no difference. He is within that body, undoubtedly. Body is moving by mind, through mind. Nobody knows, nobody can explain. All are female. Male (Purusha) is One. He is within. It's very difficult to understand. That is all mind function we are talking, all false, ultimately false.
Can you shoulder the responsibilities of your small family even? You have to do your duty without inviting the dissipating forces of Nature. Duties are born with you, are latent in your talents. Make the best use of your talents with loving submission, in harmony with the Divine plan. Human love, relations or companions bring disappointments, uncertainties, confusions and disturbances of mind. Never pine for anybody who leaves you. There is no point in worrying so much. He is always with you. How can a mind be in love with another mind? A person can truly love another person. The mind attached with the body automatically develops self-interest, attachments, attractions, distractions, wherefrom come tiredness, depressions and differences. Until, as a result of various trials, the mind becomes conscious of and gets yoked with Him, Who resides within as the holder of body and mind. Until then, we cannot relish the taste of constant Bliss. But He, Who is within us, is always vigilant for us.
Is there any love of a body, by a body? When the body is dead, do we make love to it? The indwelling Atman (Soul or Individual Life Force) is the lifelong friend. His love is all-pervading. Change your angle of vision. Recognise the real Truth. You have no right to harm anybody or to exploit anybody in any sense, politically, economically or spiritually. Be of good cheer. Your relations are His Grace embodied unto you. Be with that Grace and have faith in Him. Living in this world, in our daily affairs there comes anger, sorrow and affliction. If we indulge them and let them victimise us, our mind will never be free of complaints and we won't be able to go bear Him. So, it is profitable to shun those feelings and go ahead keeping under His shelter.
Do not say, 'I Love You', to any person unless it is free from good or bad, or any other conditions. Human love is selfish. It is not steady and constant. That is why sorrows, blows and jolts come that cause hurt and make life burdensome. Human love is fickle, fragile and imbued with egoism. Remember Divinity. His love is pure and everlasting. Satisfy the needs of physical life. Let there be your family, spouse and children. Perform your duty to them. But that should be not all, remember the Mahanam at the same time.
