Boss you are in a deep mess and You are in for some serious trouble.......
Your attraction or craving can exist only as long as you think someone is "other". When you think they are a part of you or yourself, then attraction dies out. That is why a husband or a wife may not be attracted to their partner but to someone else, because their partner has already become a part of them. When you realize everyone is part of your own self, you enjoy the whole world without a sense of craving.
But sometimes you fight with your partner, you blame him/her, you share your misery with him/her because you take them for granted....when you share your misery, it will not diminish. When you fail to share your joy, it diminishes. Share your problems only with the Divine, not with anyone else, as that will only increase the problems. Share your joy with everyone.
The self is subtle. You should go from gross to subtle, you must overcome aversion, hatred, jealousy, attraction or entanglements.
It may be difficult to accept something you do not like but you can definitely accept a tiny bit of it- an atom. The moment you accept that one atom, you will see change occur.
Suppose you love someone. You want more and more of them, yet there is no fulfillment. In Anuvrat - the vow of an atom - you take just one atom of that person and that is enough to bring fulfillment to you. Though the river is vast, a little sip quenches your thirst. Though the earth has so much food, just a small bite satisfies your hunger. All that you need are tiny bits. Accept a tiny bit of everything in life - that will bring you fulfillment.
Forgetfulness of the infinite is misery. Forgetfulness of the trivial is ecstasy.
Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. What say?
God bless n Allah hafiz,
Avi
