From page 52 of the 1st draft book My Interpretation of LORD BO TIEN'S MESSAGES by the late Senior Brother Tay Chong Sim of Kedah Malaysia where he was the resident state civil engineer. Written three decades ago, it is still evergreen and relevant.
In recent days, it is noted that there are a few cases of couples committed joint suicide so that, in their opinions, they can be united in death instead of suffering the agony of physical separation due to strong parental objections, religious or family grounds, etc. This is not romantic but it is tragic, wasteful and wrong. Hence, if we on occasions come across couples who are deeply in love but separated by individual type of commitments and constraints, we should try to persuade them to see the light for long term reunion, instead of resorting to drastic action. No man or woman should terminate his / her life as well as his / her beloved's life just like that. It is just SELFISHNESS or "BLINDNESS" for them to make that decision. They should be advised to formulate the idea of long term reunion in a karmic free way that will lead to eternal unison before returning to GOD's Main Stream.
God Almighty the ONENESS, in creating the universe and establishing the Universal Law of Nature has included the Law of Dualism (Yin and Yang). The force of Yin and Yang are opposite but yet they are attracted to one another, in a checked and balanced way to ensure stability and harmony. We, human beings, are born in either a Yin(Female) or Yang(Male) form and the two must meet to generate growth and propagate. The life spark that exists in each of us, is either a Yin Component or a Yang Component of God's Main Stream of creation (from HIS ONENESS). (From ONE to TWO, from TWO to ONE). Each one of us will have his/her equally opposite but "attractive" life spark that exists in that person concerned. How the two separated life sparks will meet, since these are so numerous in existence, is Life's Mystery. It is from here that LOVE manifested itself from all of us. Love becomes a subject of great inspiration and creation by both men and women over the past years and will continue to affect all human beings as long as they exist. The continual search for the right opposite life spark is ever ongoing and the process is long suffering. Each life spark is his/her own entity and each is responsible for his/her actions and reactions in each phase of life span. Hence in our life time, we should differentiate love from just physical attraction i.e.yearning and craving from that of love on the mental and finally the spiritual planes. Love on the three planes of consciousness i.e. Mental, Physical and Spiritual will end the endless search for Holy Union. Just because we are prevented from any physical union in this world, it does not mean we are not the right component. Each of us is subjected to his or her own past karma and "debts" have to be paid. Once we recognise this fate, we should be "awakened" and should not go against the Law of Nature. We should seek ways to cultivate mental and spiritual loves with the physically separated opposite component and at the same time convert the physical, passionate love into Universal Love to all beings and practising the Doctrine of Loving Kindness. It is important that each one of us must play our individual part towards the cultivation of the development of the Physical, Mental and Spiritual planes of consciousness, in order to be united harmoniously in the next cycle of rebirth.
Physical "separation" can be overcome by the couples concerned to take part in common charity activities by organisation or temples, attending similar religious talks and discussions, etc all on the mental and spiritual planes of communion. Therefore there is no need for any drastic or dramatic display to show the world how inseparable they are because of their "forced" physical separation.
