Marriages do not work out as we expect them to do because of the gap between the ideal and the strength and sacrifice needed to realise it. This is very much missing today in the fast food and utilitarian culture imported largely from the West. But the Divine is always willing to help us realise the Ideal. He is not the spoilsport to our happiness but the helper and guide and it is only rarely that he does not grant a sincere prayer, and only when He sees the harm that may accrue through it. The reason why relationships end up badly is not God but our incapacity to love. A love full of demands, expectations, wishes and desires based on the need for pleasure or happiness is not so much love but emotional and vital hunger. So too a love calculating gain and loss is a business and a marriage based on social benefits is a transaction. These are as good as failures even if it succeeds by outer standards. So grow in love and try to make it beautiful and sincere. That is all that is needed.
My friend called me and told me that he had a dream in which I was reading Savitri and explaining to him how Savitri accepts and embraces human struggles. Then he told me that he felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if he had already told me about this before. Is there any meaning to this dream? 📖💭

This dream suggests an old connection with Savitri, the book, and perhaps with you as well. It seems something deeply imprinted in the psychic being, some kind of a soul memory or so. Difficult to say more than that.
