The two newly separated bodies united together in a sexual relationship.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
The two separated bodies united together in a sexual relationship.
After being separated as male and female, they unite in sexual relationship. The very polarity that split apart yearns to rejoin. Union is built into the structure of dual creation.
Reflection Questions
  • How do I read the longing for union in my own life — as a problem or as a structural fact?
  • What does it mean to honor the original cosmic split-and-rejoin in my relationships?
