The Colours of Love Orange

 Soul To Soul
If you lack togetherness in your relationship, try infusing some soul (orange) into it...
You may or may not believe that your partner is your soul-mate. Irrespective of that, if you want your relation to go places, you need to put your heart and soul into it.
What does this mean? Does it imply that you toil to make a comfortable living for your family? Or that you should always be honest and sincere towards your better half?
Actually - it means a lot more! In its simplest terms, putting soul into any endeavour suggests that you give it your best shot. Now your best should naturally include you being honest and sincere, in the sense that you freely and transparently share your thoughts, emotions and desires.
But is that enough? A relationship encompasses your physical existence - that is obvious. It is taken to the next level when your emotional quotient comes into play. Now imagine how much more you would both get out of your togetherness if only you could introduce your spiritual quotient, or the colour orange, into the equation.
In the absence of soul
In Jai and Neha's case, this is something they learnt the hard way. They had a love marriage twelve years ago. Well-settled with two adorable children, their life seemed the stuff dreams are made of. Great job, excellent relationship with in-laws (both ways), obedient children who were doing well at school, and a comfortable home in a Mumbai suburb thanks to Jai's father (wedding gift).
Most importantly, the couple bonded so well they were the envy of their entire friends' circle - until disaster struck.
You see - one day Jai had an accident while returning home from work. It wasn't that serious, in the sense that no one died. But it left handsome confident Jai with a limp. This did not impair his ability to work (he was a CA). It did, however, leave him mentally drained - depleted of orange.
A soulful journey
'What if I had lost my life?' was a thought that came to his mind again and again.
Jai resumed his work and life continued. But something had changed. Was it the vibe between them? Jai felt a strong need to connect with Neha on a different plane. For long, though, he struggled within, wondering how to broach the subject.
Simply put, Jai desired to 'talk' and 'live' soul with his life partner Neha. In other words, he needed to connect with Neha spiritually. He had realized that so far, all their connecting had been physical and emotional. And this, the accident had shown him, would one day end. An orange connection that would outlive beyond this life - that is what Jai now craved.
What wasn't strange was that like so many other couples who have love marriages, this twosome had never discussed religion or spirituality before marriage. Since they were of a similar religious background, it was taken for granted. They spoke of their likes and dislikes, hopes and expectations from life and their partner. But 'soul' per se, never figured in their conversation. Perhaps they perceived it as something - like a visit to Mount Kailash and other places of religious significance - to do when they grew old?
When it comes to soul, don't delay
But Jai had awakened to the fact that there are no sureties in life. What is here today may be gone tomorrow - life, money et al. So he wanted to live in the moment, and feel connected to his loved one in every sense of the word.
Fortunately for Neha, his accident had opened her eyes too. Even so, opening up was to each other was a slow process - maybe because they were in the process of discovering their true self. They took time to acknowledge new experiences, and feel open to converse about their spiritual existence, God, life, death, rebirth and so on. But slowly, orange (read spirituality) prevailed in their relationship.
But it was worth it, for it introduced a new dimension to their togetherness. As Jai and Neha slowly became more spiritually conscious, they felt a closer connection between themselves and the world at large. They realized that they had been partners in love, but a step further, they were also partners in soul.
Perhaps like Jai and Neha, you could initiate a soul journey with your partner today, and together travel to a higher plane. As they say, it's more fun to experience new things with a friend!
To infuse orange into your relationship try this:
- Soul needn't be boring. It could be funky, if you make it so. Try lighting a candle, and then spend half an hour sitting around it sharing your thoughts about spirituality.
- Book in together for a meditation course.
- Read some soul to each other. Try Kahlil Gibran or Paolo Coelho to get into the mood to discover that there is more to yourselves than what you see or feel.
