Spiritual Partners
Man and woman are born partners to each other. This natural
pair has the enormous capacity to develop their personalities in
terms of spirituality. The combination of a man and a woman
gives both of them great opportunities to unfold the hidden
treasure of spirituality in their nature. Both men and women are
like cogwheels. One cog cannot move the wheel: the wheel of life
can be moved only with the joint effort of both.
But there is a price to be paid for this. Without paying this
price, no pair can move the wheel of life. This price, in a single
word, is none other than adjustment. The fact is that in spite
of all their similarities, both have been born with differences.
Difference is a part of nature. There is no uniformity in the
scheme of things in nature. So, we have no option but to learn
the art of difference management.
Man and woman are spiritual partners to each other.
Mutual love and affection are the binding forces for
both.
One’s failure in this regard is tantamount to failure in life
itself. If you want to develop your spirituality, try to adjust
with your spouse. Spirituality is the highest goal one can aim
to achieve. Without spirituality, man and woman are both
incomplete. Spirituality gives you wisdom and strength. And
both are necessary to have a successful life.
Spirituality leads to personality development. And only
developed personalities can attain the status of super achievers
in this world.
