Once two people's love is on an evolving path, it can never die out!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The state of egolessness or what I call 'the egoless ego' is necessary for such a thing to happen. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Else it's not possible, because the ego has 'love' only for itself. Narcism.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I like the way you express it...'a fire that can never go out!'&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Have a nice day!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;regards,&lt;BR/&gt;Vikram</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/1546765579068987558/comments/default/6142741685669705102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/1546765579068987558/comments/default/6142741685669705102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2007/05/soulmates.html?showComment=1180776420000#c6142741685669705102' title=''/><author><name>Vikram Madan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07743637404053398793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14312030003660602991'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2007/05/soulmates.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34295657.post-1546765579068987558' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/posts/default/1546765579068987558' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34295657.post-6901666207517210089</id><published>2007-06-01T23:36:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2007-06-01T23:36:00.000+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Hi Vikram..Thanks for this article and your insigh...</title><content type='html'>Hi Vikram..&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for this article and your insights.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I completely agree that our world is not exactly a healthy place for relationships to thrive... at least not in the cultures i have observed.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It certainly takes a lot to rise above the nonsense of what surrounds us that often is exactly that which harms our soul and our relationpships.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think the idea of a "soul mate" is one of those things that is often used to describe that early love... you know?  People find each other and are in that dreamy place where they think their partner is perfect.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I think real "soul mates" find a unity and love much, much beyond that initial spark... it is a fire that can never go out!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks Vikram... ohh and thank you so much for sharing my site!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Blessings to you!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Jen</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/1546765579068987558/comments/default/6901666207517210089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/1546765579068987558/comments/default/6901666207517210089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2007/05/soulmates.html?showComment=1180721160000#c6901666207517210089' title=''/><author><name>Jennifer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04593797320592103928</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://tantrism.vikram-madan.com/2007/05/soulmates.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34295657.post-1546765579068987558' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34295657/posts/default/1546765579068987558' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
