Only Love is Real

Wondering how I got romantic after Chicken Pox? No, it is not a side effect of the antivirals I took. But I can say it is a consequence of Chicken Pox because how else on earth could I get so much time to read this book titled "Only Love is Real"? I swear even I had not heard of it before. :) It was not all that great that I talk about it in a post. But there were some lines which can switch on some romantic switches in you. So without wasting time I am going to copy those lines here.

1. Destiny dictates meeting of soulmates. We will meet them. But what we decide to do after meeting falls in the province of choice or freewill.A wrong choice or a missed chance can lead to incredible loneliness and suffering. A right choice, an opportunity realized can bring us profound bliss and happiness.

Not so romantic is n't it? May be I can call it a foundation stone :)

2. Soul recognition may be immediate. A sudden feeling of familiarity of knowing this person at depths far beyond what the conscious mind could know. At depths usually reserved for intimate family members. Intuitively knowing what to say, how they will react. A feeling of safety and a trust far greater than could be earned in one day or one week or one month.

I don't seem to be moving ahead from foundation :(

3. Passion in a relationship cannot be artificially created. There can be respect, and there can be compassion, but the chemistry has to be there from the start.

Hmm.. Started talking about Chemistry haan :)

4. It is delusional to believe that this passion, this soul recognition and attraction will be easily found again with one more person. You do not run into such a soulmate everyday, perhaps only once in a lifetime. Listen to your heart, to your own intuitive wisdom when making important decisions, especially when deciding about a gift of destiny, such as a soulmate. If you rely exclusively on the advice of others you may make terrible mistakes. Your heart knows what you need.Your heart will find it inconceivable that you will not be together.

Hmm.. some dose of Hindi movie dialogues :)

5. When your intuitions, your gut feelings, your spiritual heart all know beyond any doubt, do not be swayed by fear based arguments of others. Sometimes meaning well and sometimes not, they might lead you far astray from your joy.


May be.....

At the end of it, it was not all that romantic :(
I don't know why I felt so while reading the book.
