How do we tether a soul to another? What twine or taffy makes them stay? Is it love or god or byproduct of inevitability?
Perhaps there is no real delineation-- all three the same, differently labeled, but effectively borderless. So then too, this is a reflection on both marriage and friendship, both of which can bind so equally and tightly. It seems to me there is no distinction -- both a pact with another to participate in the process of complete cooperation with the inevitable. Sounds an awful lot like enlightenment.
The great sages of the yogic path say that the surest way to the end states of yoga are through love and devotion. They call that path to enlightenment bhakti.
There is no surer way to know God and the self than love.
Till death do we part, indeed.
