The idea of 'Love"

Being in love is the best feeling ever. You try to give your best version to someone. Initially it all feels new , fresh and mysterious. Every little tinge of feeling that you get about the person is exciting . Its like going out of your boundaries and reaching out to someone completely new and different. Finding out their secrets , the likes , exploring their world and their lives is all so wonderful.
You slowly start to dissolve the boundaries and linings between the two of you . The emotional barriers break , the metaphysical boundaries are crossed and in no time , she becomes a little bit of him and he becomes a little bit of her . Two souls , who started their journey as lone ones get a companion . To walk the world together , to see the sun rise and set as they sit besides each other , never having to feel like a lone soul ever. His pain becomes hers and vice versa . The bond of companionship feels the best thing in the world and the world outside of this  stops being of too much importance.
Love as we know it , changes us , makes us feel closer to the divine . Its just the two who matter . The two become  one . And as we know it , there is consistency only in singularity . The duality is always inconsistent . This brings us to the basis on which any relationship survives . How much oneness the two can bring in a relationship . How much oneness the two are willing to bring in the relationship . There are two things here- 'willing' and 'can' . The former is the basis of the later .
Its difficult to put this 'oneness' in perspective . It encompasses all the dimensions of life , be it emotional , spiritual , physical , metaphysical or intellectual . Being at ease with the other person is possible only when this balance of different dimensions is sought by the two. And by 'two' , I mean a full involvement by the two . You cannot be just you at a moment and be selective about being the 'two of you' at some other time . As the say , pain demands to be felt , so does love. It constantly demands to be attended to ,  else the friction develops . Remember now , there are two very different entities involved in the process .And mind it , no 'two' can ever be same . We started as two , got closer to the 'one' and unless the two try to be close to 'the' one constantly ,  the seeker called 'LOVE' would not sit back quietly and let it go. It plays all its tricks and tantrums to budge the 'two' and in the event of unwillingness of the one , love strikes at the core of the  other. The two-to-one concept plays it all , in the game of love. 

Tribhanga!
