WHAT IS ROMANTICISM?

WHAT IS ROMANTICISM? 

FOR CENTURIES, Man had wondered about his nature, what he is actually, in fact, in reality. He was a being who had come into being. NOW, this question confronted Man- what am I?

In his blind state, he posited a supernatural being/state/dimension that THEN seemed natural, and almost inevitable. This supernatural being that man called GOD, also seemed to overpower man, in a slavery of blindness. It took centuries for man to break his own self made shackles. It was not until the age of the Enlightenment that Man broke free, with reason, and reality- with the sense that this world is actually all there is, and that he is FREE to explore anything, THINK and know, discover the secrets. Man understood his own powers, and thus he expressed everything within and without in poetry, literature, paintings, music, his own sense of life, that now could really SEE. His visions came as breakthroughs within and without, his own inner self, and his new found joy. He SAW with wonder and fascination, the inner and outer world, with a nakedness, freedom, and starkness hitherto unknown.

Such a profound movement was really ROMANTICISM!! It is purely an expression of MAN!! Man is the center, and his being is all there is, this world that he perceived was his station and he was FREE to examine as deeply and as clearly as he wanted!!

Romanticism is truly Man having been born again and come of age!!

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - HOW ROMANTIC LOVE WORKS

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - HOW ROMANTIC LOVE WORKS

HOW ROMANTIC LOVE WORKS 

Romantic love is a profound thing, the deepest, the fullest one can feel.

It is an electric thing – passionate, trembling, infinite.

What is that infinitude? Why is that infinitude?

Life is a process of acquiring fundamental values of character to enable us fully and joyously to act out our plan of life.

Life is purposive. Purpose is central to a man’s or a woman’s character. Purpose is that choice, fundamental choice that rules a man, drives a man, fulfills a man essentially psychologically but also physically (in that he earns his living by that)

A central purpose gives meaning to man’s life, integrates his life, is synonymous with life.

A purposeless life is not life and is as close to death as a man can come.

What is involved in a life of purpose? Purpose is a passion that is a profound grounding, an exultant security, for a man. It defines him, so to speak, and provides a wholeness and long range activity to him.

In that sense, it is purpose that makes him take birth as man. Once a purpose is deeply felt, and committed to, man is free!

There is no other thought then, no drifting, no running, no pursuit of blind, mindless values….

It is purpose that makes a man rise above the conventional world- the world that runs amok, sightless creatures following rules set by others , with no real passion, a robotism that is swallowing the world, no individuality, hence no character, no ground within the being…

With a purpose, man is free, detached from the conventional world. Yet it is he who creates, preserves, gives meaning to the world.

Purpose is hence naturally, obviously joyous because a man with a purpose has roots, deep roots to live on earth.

It is purpose that gives courage, energy, enthusiasm…

A man of purpose, a man who has essentially defined his identity, given complete meaning to life in thought and action is a passionate man.

He has a tremendous feeling for life. When such a man meets another with the same kind of deep grounding in a great purpose, the result is electric, passionate, trembling, filled with an infinite, deep ecstasy.

Why is it so?

It is a confirmation not in his mind but in front of him, objectified.

It is as if by some miracle, he can touch his purpose, touch his life, feel life by touch, sight, by his senses. It is as if a being comes and says- I am you, see me, hold me to feel yourself. You are hidden but I have brought the hidden in you out as I embody you.

You see, we live in our minds but reality is not in the mind but out there. A purpose satisfies one but we also need to, if such a miracle could be wrought, SEE the meaning of our purpose. Another human being has got the power to give us that on various levels.

Just to see the same purpose in another brings out the deepest confirmation without thought, filling us with a single, overwhelming feeling- ROMANTIC LOVE.

It is an intimacy, the “I” that we are finding a way by which it can see feel, touch, not another physical body but a concrete form and vision of his deepest grounding and foundation.

It is really a simple feeling- deep, infinite, serene and yet violent, tense, trembling. It is a union of thought and sense.

Sex hence is the most intense feeling one can feel. You can while making love, actually find the greatest blessing, because your purpose, your foundation and grounding has acquired more than a sensory value, it has become linked with pleasure.

It is a gift, a natural capacity, inborn, ingrained. To touch, feel and find a pleasure in such a way that one’s values are being confirmed. The feeling is – Yes! Yes! Yes!

It is a trembling ‘yes’ to life, to existence, to the inherent benevolence of being. It is a glorious thing and it is hence, the greatest sin to deny its meaning, its fulfilling potential, its grace, its ecstasy.

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - THE DIVINE THING MINE FOREVER!!

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - THE DIVINE THING MINE FOREVER!!

THE DIVINE THING MINE FOREVER!!

To look at her, at the whole of her, her structure, her soul,
Both together with no separation, and the animated feelings,
Seen clearly to a perceptive mind, to see her walk, talk,
Smile , laugh, think, respond with light in the eyes,
The flow of the body, seen through, her soul and the thing within,
To love, be struck with that womanly beauty,
To get lost in the dream of the utter beauty in front of you,
To feel that pressure in you, Oh! That delight! To see and to dream!
And to know that that divine being is yours and you are free
To explore the limits of joy, pure , given to you as a gift!
The wonder of holding and feeling the sharp aching passion,
possessed by a madness, a human animal , laughing , serene
Yet deeply driven and violent, possessing and tearing apart!
The wonder filled feeling again, the wonder, the pleasure of life!
Extreme, clearing all rot, cleansing, but simply and laughing!
A yes! yes! yes! to life and living, on and on it goes!
In the deepest union and that is an ecstasy and Pinnacle reached!!

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - ECSTATIC UNION

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - ECSTATIC UNION

ECSTATIC UNION

I look at her,
my girl, and
 I want to hold her,
 embrace her,
tell her,
 by some magic ,
 how beautiful and
 precious she is.

She is too good,
 almost not true,
 yet real,
 functioning, living.

It seems
like a miracle ,
this thing before me.

I kiss her,
hold her,
 and a madness
seizes me.

Suddenly I find ,
 in the act,
 the way to tell her
and a way
to express,
my own deep self,
 simultaneously,
miraculously!

I laugh, in
 astonishment,
as always.
 I prize it, hold it ,
 a precious secret.

She closes her eyes
 and we sink deep
into an ecstatic union.

It goes on and on
and we seem
to reach the limit.

I cannot believe it
 and then it hits us
and we know
in that moment
what life is-
final, complete,
 nothing left
 to be desired ever.

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - THE LIMITS OF JOY

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - THE LIMITS OF JOY

The limits of joy

I look into you ,
deep, and find myself.
 A madness seizes me,
I hold you and tremble
 at the sudden knowledge
of how precious
 you are to me,
a value that
 can’t be computed
because it has
 become infinite…
a pleasure that
 has become limitless.

 We are locked in
ecstasy and this
 doubles up my life ,
gives fuel and reality
- a kind of art-
 a fulfillment
just because you are
and you exist.

We go on and on,
 touching the limits
 of joy and
pain, fear, doubt
wiped out from
 the face of the earth…

Serenity and violence
 incredibly one!

A LIFE OF ROMANCE AND MARRIAGE - MARRIAGE


MARRIAGE

Marriages are made in heaven
I look at her (my wife)
and I realize that
I need to prove nothing.
She is more than mine,
she is me.

She tells me often
that she can’t say ‘I love you’.
How can I say ‘I love you’
to myself she protests
and it is true.

She is sweet, too sweet.
My doubts, loneliness, fear
dissolves in her simple love.
I smile at  the simplicity
in wonder, in pure happiness.

A God must exist
I sometimes feel
for the serendipitous event
of bringing us together
and making us one in life.

One day she tells me,
as an obvious fact,
we’ll be one in death too…..
I have nothing to say
became it is true.
We are one.

She is my conscience too.
She criticizes, in the
way only she can,
completely understanding
and yet giving me
perspective,
letting me be my best
and ensuring I make no error…

She has made a
better man of me
than I was
She lets me, giving me space
to be one and in touch always
with my true, real self…

Life is so real, true
simple and hence
beautiful, profound,
grand, deeply joyous with her…

Love can be a
pinnacle and we are that proof…

Oh! My dearest, my only one…
Life is such a blessing,
such a sweet union,
such a completion
because you are me…

We hungrily reach for each other
almost all the time…
Untroubled, calm, serene and
yet violent, ecstatic, tense…

Two souls attracting
like powerful magnets
and never ever reaching
the limit of consummation.

Your kisses, your caresses
transform physicality
into something magical –
A pure state of extreme joy…


We laugh, we look,
in incredible wonder,
it takes time to accept too…
So much happiness is unknown,
seems unreal, yet it is
real, possible, ours, forever…
