The search for the ‘eternal’ beloved, and its culmination in a ‘marriage’ has given us some of the most poignant art, the most sublime music, the most exalted poetry. It has nourished our veneration, kindled the warmth of our religious sentiments, and nurtured the cultures of both East and West, and yet because of the materialism of our time the eternal beloved and the marriage of the soul with the spirit is not understood. Is it for this reason that we are seeing gender confusion with all its social and psychological implications?This book seeks to offer a historical insight into the spiritual nature of human beings and strives in this way to add to the physical and psychological understandings a soul and spiritual perspective.
