🌿 Where You Are Now
Marriage is a sacred dance of two souls weaving their stories together, yet sometimes the steps falter — misunderstandings arise, and ego shadows the heart’s pure intentions. It’s natural to feel hurt or distant in these moments, but remember, these are opportunities for deeper connection and growth. You are not alone in this journey, and healing begins with gentle awareness and love.
🕉️ Timeless Words
सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज।
अहं त्वां सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः॥
(Chapter 18, Verse 66)
“Abandon all varieties of dharma and just surrender unto Me alone. I will liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear.”
This verse invites us to release our rigid attachments — including to ego and misunderstandings — and surrender into a higher love and understanding. In marriage, surrendering the ego opens the door to compassion and peace.
🪬 Guiding Lights
- Ego is not your enemy, but a teacher: Recognize when pride or stubbornness arises; it signals where healing is needed.
- See beyond the words: Often, misunderstandings are shadows of unspoken fears or unmet needs. Listen with your heart, not just your ears.
- Choose love over being right: The bond matters more than winning an argument.
- Practice forgiveness daily: Forgiveness frees both you and your partner from the chains of past hurts.
- Remember the deeper self: Behind every ego clash is a soul longing for connection and acceptance.
🌊 Inner Dialogues
You might be thinking, “Why doesn’t my partner understand me? Why do we keep hurting each other?” That frustration is real and valid. It’s okay to feel hurt and confused. But beneath the surface, there is a yearning for harmony and closeness. Your heart knows this — even if your mind gets caught in the storm.
📿 What He Would Say...
“My beloved seeker, when the waves of ego rise between you and your partner, do not be swept away by their force. Instead, become the calm ocean beneath — vast, patient, and accepting. Let your love be the anchor that holds steady, and your heart the light that guides you both back to unity. In surrendering your pride, you find your true strength.”
🌱 A Familiar Story
Imagine two students working on a group project. Both are passionate but have different ideas. Instead of listening, each insists on their way, causing tension. But when they pause, share their fears (like fear of failure or being ignored), and truly listen, they find a solution that blends both ideas beautifully. Marriage is much the same — misunderstandings fade when vulnerability and listening take the front seat.
