Every person is half woman & half man

Every person is half woman & half man. Your whole existence is incomplete. The womanly half in you goes on yearning for the man and the manly half in you goes on yearning for the woman.

Psychologists say that in the unconscious mind of every man is hidden the woman & in the unconscious mind of every woman is hidden the man. They go on searching outside till their inner man & inner woman meet. Until this happens, until your conscious & unconscious minds become one, attraction for the opposite will always be there. A man will be attracted towards a woman and a woman will be attracted towards a man.

In a statue of “Ardhanarishawara”, Shiva is shown as half woman & half man. Until the half man & half woman within you become the image of “Ardhanarishawara”, until you become whole within yourself, you will go on searching outside feeling lost & thinking that meeting a woman will bring fulfilment. But the woman is there in your unconscious mind. That is why all the yogas & tantras are basically the process of uniting your inner energies. When you become united & one within you, then your outer desire ceases to exist. At the same time, when the outer desire ceases to exist, only then can you become one. These two things are interdependent.
