Everything in our life has a simple equation. We want to know what we can get before we begin a task. 'What is in it for me' is the mantra of the modern age. The truth is that no institution built by ordinary humans is above this consideration. Every one of us faces it or does it in one form or the other. Even marriage is entangled in this equation. A modern marriage is simply a business relationship.

Even before we enter marriage, we want an undertaking that the venture will not fail! We sign a prenuptial agreement which is more like a business contract.Partners have mismatched concerns. One partner enters marriage solely for the emotional or financial security. The other needs material benefits from this relationship. Because of this, the trust between partners is totally absent. We may live in the same house, but not in one home!

We continue to cling to our fantasies and visualization. We live in our mind, even in the past or the future. We do not even for a moment live in the present. Let us drop all our imagination and dreams. When we do that, we are actually removing the lust. We are creating an awareness of ourselves and our partners: we are accepting the reality of our body and our partner's body. We hide behind fantasies because we are ashamed of our body. In fact, we are more than ashamed. We loathe it; we hate it; we reject it and this rejection manifests as various body pains and chronic skin diseases. This low self-esteem and disrespect to our body is a vicious cycle.

We want to be someone else - someone with a different body. We want to shape our body and dress like someone else and we stop staying in our own boundary because of this. In fact, we do not even think of our whole body because we are not comfortable with it. Whenever we hear our name we think only of our face; we do not think of our whole body When we copy someone else artificially, we can't accept ourselves completely and when we cannot accept ourselves, we can at best, be beautiful but never graceful.

Grace exudes from within. Take time to watch your body after a bath. Watch it with love and fee comfortable. Our body oozes bliss all the time. Nurture this natural bliss and love your body and self. Then you will radiate a grace that transcends beauty. Then you will understand that your body is a beautiful gift from 'Existence' to facilitate you to be a part of 'Existence' itself.
