Of all the days of the year commemorated and celebrated, Valentine's Day stands out for its symbolic power. Apart from cards and chocolates and 1001 stories, it's about the single most powerful human relationship: love attraction. As a matter of fact, it is the force which keeps the universe moving. Everything in the nature moves in all directions dictated by the natural principle of attraction and aversion. Two poles of yin (minus) and yang (plus) seek each other to form a harmonized whole. This union is the corner stone of the edifice to be jointly built with bricks of procreation and creation, and for that matter, also recreation. Like in everything else in the nature, there is one combination of a certain yin and a certain yang that overshadows all other possible variants. This ideal meeting is a universal event in that it leads the couple back to their source where they were one before the creation of the current universe. This is a tantric way of self-realization, Self-Realization through a union making body and soul whole. In such a relationship there is no room for egoism (amour propre) or altruism (amour d'autrui). Loving me equals loving you, and vice versa. They overcome the tyranny of natural force of attraction and aversion, and advance together towards the supra-dimensional pure land.
As we have been evolving through billions of years from star dusts to humans, the chance of meeting our twin flames, as they are called appropriately, during this lifespan of earth life is millionfold weaker than finding a needle hidden deep in a haystack. The best way is to stop seeking and to concentrate the energy on getting prepared for that event. By the force of logic and truth, it won't happen unless we are ready. The best way of preparation is to use the relationship we are now in for mutual inner growth. A first sign that you are on the right direction is that you love somebody not 'because of', but 'in spite of'. The because-of kind of love is not love - at best self love -, but trade. The in-spite-of kind of love is not a pure love, either, but a learning process. Only when the notion itself of 'because of' or 'in spite of' disappears, and there is no distinction of giving and receiving ends between two, both ends meet and merge into one to become whole and holy again. Congratulations to all past, present, and future twin flames!
