The currents in life have been changing very rapidly these days. In fact, so fast they flow from all directions that I'm amazed I can finally call myself as 'very busy' even before I enter the next phase of life. Just 2 years back, I had lots of time on my hand for contemplation and idling which I never consider wasteful. But these days, balancing all priorities in life is a big challenge, as newer more exciting activities keep popping up all the time, weighted on the other side by responsibilities that aren't as fun, but required nevertheless!
The mind is also no longer existing in isolation. There's great amount of synergy with another! When the waters of life from two streams mix there's a lot of excitement and different perspectives added. Its useful to know the higher purpose of union of two minds which is to get a more streamlined, stronger flow with less fluctuations thereby able to go farther and have a wider variety of experiences. If the dissolution of egos happens at least with in the boundary of two egos, then there is the capacity to live life through two different experiencers. This is with the intention that the minds broaden even further to encompass the entire creation and become one with Ishwara, the presence underlying creation. And of course, there are always the events that attract other similar minds to be nurtured in the physical world. Eventually, the goal is to surrender and merge all minds into the ocean of bliss of infinity that continues to exist irrespective of the world, but not the other way round.
