It is one of the most painful phases of a human life to end a relationship, even if the relationship is not serving any good. One of the reasons people end their relationships is when their partners don’t seem interested in them anymore.

One of the followers of Sadhguru, the owner and founder of the Isha Foundation, asked how she should deal with this situation. She asked,” My life partner seems to be unresponsive to me after stepping on the spiritual path. How to handle this situation?”

“I certainly wouldn’t say, drop him and pick the next guy. This thought is not spiritual but many things can cause it. When you begin to think of people as mere props, you miss the point of life. This has a price. Every action has a consequence,” he said.

Sadhguru added that a person has every right to leave if the relationship has turned sour and all efforts to patch it up have failed.

Sadhguru said that no one can get free from jealousy and the pain of not getting what they desire. He said that we reject many people in the course of our life. He says that we can’t stand it when someone excludes us or thinks less of us.

According to the Isha Foundation owner, people have agreed to be in some or the other form of marriage system. He says that different societies have handled it according to their traditions but its basic structure remains the same. This structure comprises taking responsibility, trusting, and being steadfast. He said that there should be a trust factor between two people. Sadhguru said that the relationships formed without trust can harm the individual and also, lead to social unrest.

Sadhguru also emphasises that people should take some time off when they come out of a broken relationship. According to him, “Whatever went wrong in a broken relationship, you are 50% responsible for it. So, takes at least six months or a year to fix that 50%. ” He said that it is the way to handle life and not repeat the mistake in another relationship.
