We’ve had so many lives and have so much karma with others that Heaven arranges for the most important to come first. So, if in one life we have an enemy then our karma will put us together in another life, in a family, marriage or deep relationship; in order to use love and forgiveness to erase the enmity between each other. Love is the ultimate law in the universe, it’s what we are, and it’s the reason we were born.
For example, if in one life we do wrong to another then since we are pure beings, something inside both of us will feel uncomfortable. Perhaps we feel remorse or sorry for the actions and this thought affects both parties. Next life, after the stubbornness and anger has long died along with the bodies, we feel a sudden need to express forgiveness. This comes out in the form of love, especially at first sight. We have no idea of the person since we’re in different bodies, but within ourselves we recognize something, perhaps like a strong feeling; a strong affinity and need to love them. That’s how relationships mostly work, it may sound bad but actually it is Heaven’s perfect arrangement.
So next time you meet your soul mate, look into their eyes and be honest with yourself. Try not to let the chemistry overwhelm you, which is easier said than done. God has arranged it this way to ensure so-called soul mates (twin flames) actually do get together and erase hatred using love. That’s why the initial attraction is so strong, and its also why our soul mate is the one person who can cause us the most pain (emotional pain). If you have any friends who have experienced a breakup with a twin flame, or perhaps yourself! You will understand this profoundly. If someone is not close to us they have little impact to our heart. But those in family or marriage have full access to our hearts so can do the most damage.
As many great sages have reminded us. Make your enemies your friends and friends your siblings. If we don’t do that then the lord of karma will force it upon us in the form of a soul mate or very close relation.
