Me, My Guru - on Quitting

...contd....

“Shall we look into ‘when to quit’ in a relationship”? her voice brought us back to reality and now.

For a change, I’ll tell you what to quit in relationship rather than ‘when to quit’ a relationship.

“What?” almost all of us found it odd to understand. To quit or not to is the question and here she was talking about ‘what to quit in relationship’. That’s odd, we felt! But nevertheless we listened.

“Stop arguing when you realize you are wrong. Many times, because we started the argument, we continue holding on to our side of logic even if we realize that we are wrong! Why? Because, now it’s not about the issue, it’s the matter of ‘our ego’. So, we continue arguing ‘knowing fully well that we are wrong”. Stop that! The moment, the day you realize you are wrong let go – quit fighting, picking fight, arguing. Infact, it’s best if you go and apologise. If that’s difficult, just atleast agree or state that you were wrong and that you’ve realized that.

Between ego and relationship, relationship should always win if we are talking about saving it. Did we not enter it to experience the joy of togetherness? Then why let ego come in between?

At the start of our relationship

We were he and I.

Then love came in between

And then came ‘us’.

Later love developed and I

Lost myself in him and

He lost himself in me.

Finally, don’t know when

And how

But we both didn’t exist

And all that was,

Was LOVE!

That is relationship.

Coming together is beginning.

Staying together is success.

But Working together is creation - a creation of love!
