When a man is feeling lonely, he is yearning for a woman or companion. This yearning has something to do with gratifying himself. He seeks to complete himself with the woman and becomes impatient when it does not happen.
Be patient; don’t be in a hurry to have a woman. You are in a hurry because of sin. The more sin there is the more need for support. The more guilt you have, the more impatient you are to get rid of that guilt.
Engaging in meditation can help quell these internal desires and reduce the urgency to seek a relationship. Become calm and patient, and don’t be sucked into a foolish, sexual relationship. For those already in a relationship, self-reflection and personal growth can make you a better partner. You won’t encourage your partner to be what they shouldn’t be.
True Love
True love in a man for the woman discourages her sexual nature, which he would otherwise desire. You were first attracted to the sexual nature in her. The woman encourages that to turn you on, to turn you away from your shortcomings, to reinforce what you would like to think of as a man with pride. She is attracted to that in you, eventually leading you into trouble. When you are married, you have to realize that you must start to discourage what you once encouraged.
In the quest for self-completion, the interplay between masculinity and femininity within individuals can lead to a sense of inadequacy. The presence of the “woman in the man” and the “man in the woman” highlights a fundamental duality that exists within each person. This internal conflict, rooted in the concept of original sin, can show up in behaviors aimed at making up for perceived shortcomings, such as acting macho on the outside.
The True Man
While some may seek external validation or fulfillment through relationships, the true path to self-realization lies in an internal journey. The true man is self-sufficient, rising above earthly desires and attachments. He challenges the notion that one’s completeness depends on external sources, such as romantic partners.
Ultimately, reconciling the masculine and feminine aspects within oneself is essential for achieving genuine fulfillment. By recognizing and embracing this natural duality, individuals can move beyond external dependencies and discover a deeper sense of wholeness that transcends traditional gender roles. They should complete themselves in God instead of in each other.
A man may need a woman to realize that he does not need a woman. Similarly, a woman may need a man to demonstrate to herself that she does not need a man; otherwise, she would not believe it. Her internal motivation to achieve fulfillment in external comfort does not satisfy her due to the conflict rooted in the concept of original sin.
They need to learn how to relate to each other appropriately. They should aim to be friends rather than lovers. By being in each other’s company without romantic expectations, they establish a genuine connection-based friendship rather than romantic love.
Completing oneself in God, rather than another person, is the key to a harmonious, platonic relationship. By prioritizing friendship and spirituality, the world can become a paradise again.
