Marriage A Sacred Space

With Deepali Panikkar

Contemplating the deeper philosophical truths passed down to us by some of the great philosophers can help one understand the common mistakes that one unknowingly commits in one's relationships. The contributions made by Khalil Gibran's poetry on "Marriage" can help immensely in this respect. An effort has been made to formulate these with simple explanations for a better understanding and, in turn, gain the necessary insights that can lead one towards a happier and a loving soul.

Lesson 1

Part Of Me

The ability to view one's spouse as a part of oneself and not as one's partner makes room for love. A partner cannot function in an unattached manner. There would be the burden of expectations that can ruin a marriage.

Lesson 3

Love Is Not Mixing Of Energies

Respect for oneself is the key to having respect in one's interactions in the outside world. The external world is a reflection of the inner world. The Ida and the Pingala maintain their uniqueness and at the same time reside inside one body.

Lesson 4

Bring Joy To The Table

Does one feel rich enough to give rather than receive? Or is there a continuous feeling of being deprived most of the time? One can be in a position to share joy when one is joyful. Awareness of one's own mind is the first and also the last step in this journey.

Lesson 5

Unlearning What We Grew Up Believing

Nagging women and insensitive men. Or vice versa. Whatever the case. The point to remember is the willingness to unlearn the old, destructive patterns in one's life. Marriage can be a totally fulfilling and divine experience that has the potential to lead one into eternity.

This is a good starting place, I appreciated the references to Kalil Gibran’s philosophy on marriage. The course gave me ideas to contemplate… eg is my husband a part of me or not me, do I limit, do I bring joy to our marriage, I felt the questions post teaching did not give enough of a range of options. Maybe provide a free option allowing for the participant to give their response to what they are learning, not having to choose from the limited 4 available options. Thank you and namaste
