Zenfully Quool Quotes by my Mentor… Av Neryah
~
In the dynamics of the human experience,
relationships serve as a fantastic arena where we face both
the joys of love and the challenges of conflict,
all of which can shape our identities and the way we approach life.
They have the power to reveal our underlying emotional and mental impressions—
our vasanas—the unseen puppeteers pulling strings.
What people often call “love” might actually be just attachment
a blend of dependency and possessiveness dressed up as affection.
True love, on the other hand,
is not an emotional experience that comes and goes.
In this context,
it is more like a deep, harmonious connection with another being,
a unity that goes beyond just emotions or feelings.
It’s the recognition of ourselves in the other,
the recognition of our shared, essential nature;
it’s an experience of oneness.
Take, for example,
a non-verbal exchange between lovers:
a look that communicates depths beyond words;
a touch that narrates entire chapters of understanding;
a hug that bursts with the intensity of a supernova’s joy.
This isn’t just interaction
it’s a point where two seemingly separate streams converge and blend into
a single, unyielding flow of shared existence.
In these and many other loving moments of unity, the experience of oneness is palpable,
not loud, but like a soft breeze—subtle yet profoundly impactful.
Of course,
not every loving relationship will be like this.
But even if actual love doesn’t flourish in a relationship,
there is still much to learn;
they can allow us to discern hidden ego patterns,
stubborn non-sattvic behaviors, unresolved issues, etc.
Navigating through challenging times enriches our understanding of our
emotions, flaws, insecurities, and fears.
It can also show us the importance of the spiritual path, surrender, and conscious presence,
and that real unconditional love and freedom can only be found and realized
in the “heart” of our being.
Reposing as the joyful self-knowing space of being,
we gain a much-needed distance between ourselves as consciousness
and our body-mind’s emotional triggers and mental turmoil.
In turn,
this allows us to better recognize and understand
the ego-driven scripts that underlie our emotions, thoughts, and actions,
thus
giving us more capacity to break free from the all too common drama-filled cycle of
reaction and counter-reaction.
In this way,
relationships are not a hindrance.
Living from this deeper state of being, loving relationships
can actually become the celebration where true love
the one we can only find within… can flourish.
