Soulmates

I am a person who firmly believes in the constitution of true love and soul mates. Idealistic relationships are very difficult to even imagine in our dreams and I have many people who criticize me by saying that they don’t exist in today’s time. Many of my friends say that I should have been born in the 18th century when they hear my thoughts and aspirations on the topic of love. But I do believe that every couple has the potential to become a soul mate. Soul mates definitely have some spiritual or karmic connections. Because every couple doesn’t end up being a soul mate. Our Hindi movies have depicted such soul mates superbly and history has many examples of soul mates. Typically people will argue that you never end up marrying your soul mate or love stories always end up in pain or death. But that’s not the case. Because for the two people who are soul mates, they don’t think that it was a journey of pain. It was always a journey of bliss because every breath they took and every road they walked was devoted to first thinking of their partner and then both of them together and never about themselves. It’s the people/society who views their lives; feel that it’s been a journey of pain. But for both of them it has purely been of love and devotion.
The recent movies which have really inspired me on the topic of soul mates have been Veer – Zaara and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The characters in the movie depict the true nature required for couples to become soul mates.
When we analyze Veer-Zaara it starts off with the two people falling in love without knowing backgrounds, castes or any other factors. It’s like as if the entire world was conspiring to make them fall in love. Veer Pratap Singh expresses his love to Zaara despite knowing that Zaara is already engaged. They both realize that their love for each other is true love and all that is important for both of them is to see each other’s happiness. That’s exactly what’s required to make a couple reach the stage of soul mates. Coz throughout their life after they knew that they were in love their sole aim in life was the other person’s happiness. Neither could see a tear in each other’s life. That’s why they devoted their lives fulfilling their partner’s dreams. And both their journey was a journey of bliss. So even if the end would have showcased that they don’t meet, they would still be called soul mates.
Same way if you take Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, both start their lives together as if it is a compromise and love is only one – sided. But the one sided love is true love. Despite the fact that the Tani doesn’t believe or recognize it. But Suri displays the love of a soul mate where his only aim in life is Taani’s happiness. And he sees God in her. It’s later in the movie that Tani cannot understand how someone can love a person so much. And when she starts seeing God in Suri she immediately forgets Raj and goes back to her soul mate.
Critics and the general masses don’t believe that such stories exist in real – life because they are too good to be true. But when you study and analyze these movies in depth they have had more pain than happiness when looked from the outside world. But the journey has only been of love and that’s why they are so unique and amazingly inspiring.
Now how do you bring to practice this in real life? Firstly true love has to have a spiritual / karmic touch. It’s like both partners need to believe and have that gut feel that there has been some external force conspiring to get them together. And each partner needs to always think about the other partner first and nothing else. That’s when the entire life together will be a journey of love. It need not be without pain but it will truly be one of bliss. It’s like you should always have one thought in your mind that whatever you do and whatever you say should make your partner happy and content. It is very difficult to practice but the steps can be taken slowly and steadily and over the period of years you will realize that there are no confrontations and no arguments. It’s like you glance at one another and there is a feeling of oneness between the two individuals. Those couples are soul mates in true sense.
