Love at First Sight Is Beautiful — But Marriage Requires Clear Sight.
If you look at life without sentimentality, you will see this clearly:
A human being is not just flesh and bone standing before you. A human being is memory. Layers and layers of memory — genetic memory, emotional memory, social memory, karmic memory. What you call “past” is not behind them. It is alive within them.
If the Past Is Not Understood, It Will Be Repeated.
When you say you love someone, what are you actually loving?
A face? A behavior? A few sweet words?
Or are you willing to embrace the entire bundle of memory that is walking toward you?
If you choose someone without understanding the depth of their past, you are not choosing a person — you are choosing an unseen pattern. And patterns repeat. Not because life is cruel, but because unconscious memory seeks continuity.
You may meet someone and feel a spark. First sight can be beautiful. But first sight is only perception. It is not perception of truth — it is perception filtered through your own longing.
Marriage Is Not a Union of Bodies, But of Unfinished Stories.
Marriage is not about two bodies coming together. It is not even about two minds agreeing. It is about two histories deciding whether they can dissolve — or whether they will collide.
If a person is unwilling to drop their past identifications — their wounds, their pride, their rigid ideas, their unfinished emotional attachments — then you are not marrying a fresh life. You are marrying a continuation of yesterday.
And yesterday has inertia.
When Two Yesterdays Meet, They Create Repetition — Not Freedom.
When two yesterdays meet, they do not create tomorrow. They create repetition.
This does not mean someone with a past is unworthy. Everyone has a past. Even you do. The question is not whether they have a past. The question is — are they conscious enough to not be ruled by it?
A “fresh life” does not mean someone who has never lived. It means someone who is alive in this moment. Someone who can look at their past without being enslaved by it. Someone who is willing to break old compulsions for the sake of a conscious future.
If you ignore a person’s roots, those roots will one day rise through the floor of your house.
So do not rush.
Do not lose your sight at first sight.
Let time test the sweetness. Let situations reveal character. Let discomfort show maturity. Let silence reveal depth.
If two people can sit together without projecting yesterday onto today, then something real is possible.
Otherwise, what you call love is just memory recognizing familiarity.
Nature has its own intelligence. If you move slowly, if you are alert, if you do not get intoxicated by attraction, life will show you who the other person truly is. And it will also show you who you are.
Marriage should not be a collision of unconscious histories.
It should be a meeting of two beings willing to die to their past every day.
Only then is there freshness.
Only then is there possibility.
Only then is there freedom.
