Senses, sensitivity and 'the' sense beyond!

I don’t know if I am going to be ‘branded’ as a dumb fellow who hits a ‘same-side-goal’, but the highest of spiritual practices help us discover the subtle feminine grace within us, which reveals the truth that it really does not matter after a point of time, whether our physical features have any relevance at all! There is a whole tradition to ‘back’ this theory. It is the re-marriage with the spouse, with the deeper understanding of ‘life’ and the mutual consent to enjoy the togetherness, this time, with the least of interdependence even (of course at physical levels), as a matter of choice, not the way it began, which was a compulsion to feel it at sensory levels to make an humble beginning! The unmarried ones were fortunate to use a bye-pass high way to this level, in full awareness, with utterly conscious choice, and not as an act of ‘escapism’.

Then why is it that women were not really encouraged to take up this path (the bye-pass-road) is the logical doubt. The answers are a bit mystic looking. Two instances would give a subtle hint about it. The bulk of the ‘gopis’ in such large numbers running after the ‘nithya-brahmachari’ Krishna, all the time, is one such. And the other one, when Meerabai conveyed her surprise, (saying, “Oh! I thought there was only one ‘male’ in this entire Universe, Him!)to a yogi who claimed that he was so much of a male, to have resolved to forbid any female into his hermitage. Both these instances are a bit illogical. Even the worst of violent forms of womanizers cannot possibly enjoy the company of thousands of women, as this Krishna was famed to be so. So also, the declaration of ‘there is only one male in this Universe’. In Meerabai’s case, when his disciple conveyed this message from her to the Yogi, the truth dawned upon him, and it was his turn now, to hurry after her, to submit himself at her feet to seek pardon for his folly, and request her tutelage. So, women are already supposed to be on the track. It is the men who have to make a conscious effort to invoke the feminine grace within them, and with or without the support of a woman, is a matter of conscious choice again.

This question seemed to invoke a glimpse at the subtle aspect, and I seem to get into the ‘process’ yet again!

The question:
If Love escapes the five senses......then how will you find love?

My answer:
Yes, that is why, men find that the wife is no more loving like it used to be, and wife finds the husband silly to be still stuck to the five senses through which the story began. Usually it is women who would be the first to 'feel' after some time, that now the five senses (the body) is more of a limitation which restricts the love that seems to expand beyond and looks towards the life-partner to reciprocate similarly. The communication skills unless exceptional fail to convey this, and her life partner notices only the drop at physical level but fails to notice the increase at subtle levels! Such people form an informal association to declare that "it is difficult to understand a woman"!It is to create this higher possibility that the tradition of chastity evolved, and not to convince others or create an image of 'holier than thou' etc.
