The Importance of Art and Inner Harmony on Long-Term Relationships and Marriage

Art

Painting, architecture, the cinema, literature or music — all art forms are important. In no other aspect of our lives are the problems of our age so clearly seen. This is because art is a typically human means of expression and the quintessence of human achievements. Art is the manifestation of the overwhelming human need to express something that transcends the material world. We should not exclude even modern art — whatever that might be — from our lives. We do not have to join in the confusion and exaggeration and obscurity, but should try to understand, even if experts find this hard, if only so that we can learn to differentiate real art from other art forms.

Music is almost a divine art, in that it has tremendous power to inspire and uplift us. Children are especially moved by music, and they should be exposed to it in such a way that they learn to love and understand it, and their lives are cheered by it. Through art, people seek out for themselves a new vision, a new way of listening, a new perception of the world and their place in it. More than any other human activity, art can lead us to spiritual things, and it ought to play a major part in our education.

Inner harmony

Now we will turn to the relationship of the individual with him or herself. Although this task has never been more important, it is not the easiest to fulfil. People today are full of inner conflicts; consciously or unconsciously they are at war with themselves. How can we be at peace with our partner — or anyone else — unless we are at peace with ourselves? The only way to peace — with ourselves or with our partner - is through unity. For the individual, this requires an understanding of our purpose in life, and a conscious effort to develop our potential as human beings and play our part in contributing to society. As we will see, the way to unity with our partner lies through frank discussion and consultation, tolerance, mutual respect and a willingness to listen as well as talk. In such conditions differences of opinion add richness, not conflict, to a relationship.
