a good match

[Guest guest]

I think success in a spiritual marriage depends

greatly on a good match. I won't bring up the

whole subject of arranged vs. choosing your mate,

but finding someone on the same path and doing

the same sadhana makes a big difference. Two

bhaktas, for example, will be more supportive

of eachother than one bhakta and one jnaana who

would prefer discussions over devotional exercises.

 

It also depends on the focus of your devotion,

or should I say, the form of devotion. Two people

practicing devotion to eachother (Amma does give

a story of this in one of the books) obviously

won't be forgetting God. Likewise, two people

worshipping the same deity will be less distracted

than worshipping two different forms (Vishnu form

vs. a Devi form).
