Finding a soul mate is a hard problem, and we all know that very well! But the good news is that if you are truly looking for a soul mate, it means that you are looking for a deeper experience of life and are not just satisfied with superficial things. That's a sign of evolution!
But wait.. What exactly is a soul mate? Even before that, what exactly is a soul? And what kind of a mate does it need? In simple terms, the word “soul” refers to the most fundamental part of our being, something which can only be felt and experienced. The soul cannot be touched or seen or heard physically through our sense organs.
Sadly, not everyone feels the presence of the “soul” within themselves, but the lucky ones who do need to protect this feeling more carefully than they would protect the Kohinoor. It's precious! Now the twist in the story is that the soul does not really need a mate! Confused? Don't worry. Let me explain.
The soul is complete and fulfilled in itself and is also devoid of any wants and desires. Think of the times when you have smiled and felt happy for no apparent reason! That's the soul shining forth from within you!
So if the soul does not really need a mate, what sense does a “soul mate” make? The point is that the soul does not need a mate, but you need a soul mate in order to protect and nurture your experience of the soul! May be you can say that a soul mate is more like a (true) friend with benefits!
Essentially, you need a person who can help you in being happy without any apparent reason. Yeah, it's kind of a paradox if you think about it. But that's how life is.. full of paradoxes! So how do you find such a person? Be patient and be attentive. See.. Finding such a soul mate is not easy and so you got to be patient. But such a soul mate does exist and so you need to be attentive.
When you meet someone, do not just be enamoured by their external presence. Try to see beyond the skin color, bank balance and status symbols. Try to be attentive to the kind of feelings that person invokes within you. Does that person genuinely make you feel happier from the inside? Does the person make you feel more stable and secure?
Close your eyes and ears. See with your mind and hear with your heart. Ask your soul. Is this my soul mate? Also remember.. If the other person is truly your soul mate, he or she will also be asking the same questions and looking for similar qualities. So be careful about how you make other people feel in your presence.
And that's how you will find your soul mate. Happy hunting!
