Question:

what you think is love marrige is good or arrang marrige is good?
Its true that everywhere is misteks and for that mistake some one shoud be punishid or repay for that.In the arrange marrige where the family mambers take the resposibility to serch the would be new faimly member,they did there best.But if they make any worange desicion then two live, to family compleatly disturbed and a bitterness take place in relation.Being an advocate I myself seen many divorce cases and broaken families.Just a question came in the mind who is resposable to thes thing.Why in socity the person who is going to marry ,why can not take there dicison?but there are also example in society where love marrige too break?thus I want to know what you feel as a society member what the mode of it sould be and why?

My Answer:
Please go to the very basics to understand this. The very early man of ancient days did not need marriage at all ! Reproduction was a natural instinct, and nature allowed it by just satisfying one condition, like in animals, the reproductive age ! Only when self-awareness enhanced, man consciously decided to excercise a choice , now driven by a desire for REFINEMENT !From there on the level of evolvement decided the level of refinement desired, and accordingly more and more selectivity crept in. It reached peaks where, some cultures understood the consciousness, life process, so well, out of deeper perception, that they could clearly perceive the purpose of birth, and very very consciously(much much deeper, than a normal, rational , logical thinking can reach ! ) chose to decide about it far early(even about child marriage) , and so out of tremendous sense of responsibility , prescribed very stringent rules of selectivity criteria for marriage to maximise the possibility of such couples to not only reach peak levels of spirituality, but also to ensure greater progeny of similar types ! In doing so, they could maximise the compatibility of a deeper purpose of life between couples. All this process reduced the original purpose of reproduction to least of importance, though an essentially needed one ! This process not only improved over a period of time, but also sustained for good few centuries !When values were lost, cultural degeneration happened, the capability to understand the intrinsic values of these 'seemingly blind restrictions ' got lessened, the youngsters started questioning the very process ! The questioning is very well justified. The understanding of answers depends upon ability to have deeper level of perception, as well as knowledge of the person giving the answers !Today, those who adhere to traditional methods of 'arranged' marriages do so mostly out of blind faith , this blind faith seeks a consolation from the logical conclusion that "so many ancient people doing it for so long a time could not have gone wrong, or could not have done it without a good reason" ! Such borrowed intelligence is very difficult to LEAN upon when dealing with modern scientific minds !So, if the capability of understanding the purpose of refinement is lost, it is better to go to the basic purpose of just reproduction(like the primitive men), and do not STUPIDLY deprive oneself of ATLEAST the primitive desires and pleasures of mating, according to one's own choice , driven by superficial appearances of beauty ! Any conscious restriction imposed voluntarily on oneself, in any manner, is, to always achieve a refinement in personal characteristics , which ever way you look at it, what ever the situation it is applied to !Choice of birth, the toughest , most complex, most mystic, too was harnessed by intellectual and spiritual excellence by the ancient masters, churning out a well defined methodology ! So, obviously, it also has to be the most difficult of all things to perceive !

I think what you say is not cliche but profound. Marriage is a commitment to one soul for life. With our modern world of distractions and noise we ALL tend to lose site of TRUE POWER that is within us all. The POWER to be loyal and true is of the highest accord and to be respected! Lost children run amuck on this planet waiting for their spiritual mom and dad to guide them and WE ARE those parents. Beauty is deep but when you have beauty inside and out YOU ARE DEEP and should be celebrated! Lets celebrate life and stop talking about doing it! Love continually and be real for GOD"S sake! Marriage is icing for those who want cake in their life...to those who want snacks it's probally not for them! Keep your eyes on the skies and send your dreams to the universe....keep words few and smiles plenty and lets ALL see what happens! GOD is watching!

I think whatver the mode of marriage is, your commitement and willingness to sustain the relation takes center stage with passage of time.

In love marriages willingness is on higher note during initial days and it gradually stabilises with passage of time

In arranged marriage both society & family as a whole cheers both the persons involved in relation from very beginning of their relation & encourages them to be more commited.

Sir,
Given that all care was taken once upon a time for proper marriages and all care taken for a proper conduct, what caused the degeneration of a society? Instead of Society progressing to higher and higher spiritual levels as time goes forward, why do we degenerate more and more? Or, on the other hand are we really progressing though it appears as regressing.
Would love an answer to deepak_bellur@yahoo.com
