A WORD ABOUT MARRIAGE (PDF-1043)

It is easy for me to smile here on Facebook or to the friends and neighbors I bump

into, but much harder to always be at my kindest in a 24x7, one-to-one relationship

like marriage.

And please keep in mind that the word "yoga" means union, and the most common

form of yoga is marriage. Most of us (particularly me) are not masters of yoga. And

marriage reminds me of that each and every day. In my experience, there is no

closer mirror of the mind than intimate relationships. Perhaps this is why most

monks don't marry. They already have found their mirror. The rest of us find our

mirror, sooner or later, in relationships, ready or not. It seems we are drawn to this

by love. Amazing!
