A devotee was sharing with me yesterday that he was feeling that he married the wrong person.
He was asking if he should move out of the commitment.
I told him, ‘No. Marriage is such a sacred institution. When you commit, all doors should be closed except
the possibility of your transformation. You should not even think of any other doors. I will only recommend transformation from your side, rather than changing the other person - because you already committed.’
When God understood that he cannot be continuously available for everybody, he created a system for everybody to evolve: that is marriage!
It is your own ideas which make the other person
look wrong. Only your fantasies make the other person look wrong. You need to understand and alter your patterns. Look into the depths of your being and transform you.
When you have anger or fear in your relationship, it means that the love has reduced. Now it is time for you to work and develop that trust which is beyond love, and transform yourself.
Please understand, when you marry, for the first one year, enjoy the romance. Once the honeymoon is over, start the process of enlightenment, transforming yourself.
From the second year, use the whole thing for enlightenment.
