A college going boy and girl felt in love with each other, they gave their hearts to each other and took vow to give life for sake of each other, soon they got married. Everything was going well, they started their job. Now they hardly would meet each other and didn't practically get time to talk also. Soon both started feeling insecurity and that lead to quarrels, once girl asked the boy,"do you really love me", and boy who was also frustrated due to tension in relationship said,"No", and girl left him, This was the end of the story. What was the reason for their break-up, they seemed so committed? It was nothing but lack of communication, that's all. It's said, 'Without the communication there is no relationship, without respect there is no love, without trust there is no reason to continue'. We must take out some time for our near and dear ones, it's not a distance that keep people apart but it's a lack of communication. Spending time and serving each other increases affection, and that's what we need, heart can only understand the language of love and care, not the language of flesh and things.
What to say of only in relationships but everywhere we need to have good communication. When a pilot is flying an aeroplane he must have to be connected with control system operators, similarly with big ships and cruises, they are also connected to get the indication of direction. They have to be in touch with ground staff for successful journey, if they miss communication they are in trouble for sure. Similarly with human relationships, if we miss the communication we will be in trouble.
Communication to relationship is like oxygen to life, without which it dies. This is not only true with material relationships but spiritual too! Our story is like that of girl who left her husband, we also left the God due to our little independence but God has not left us. We have forgotten Him but He keeps reminding us of our relationship with Him through scriptures, His deities, Prasad etc. Just like we give time to develop material relationships, similarly we also need to give time to God to develop spiritual relationship, but when we stop communication relationship also stops.
So if we want to develop a little attraction and love for God which is whole and sole purpose of life, start spending time with Him, communicate with Him! One may argue I don't know God, How will I love Him? few centuries ago young girls would get married to boy, she would not know who that person is, but slowly by serving him with faith maturity would come and she would realise, ohh!! he is my husband. Similarly we may not know the personality of Godhead but by serving Him slowly the understanding will come that He is our most merciful Lord. And best way to communicate with the God is to chant His holy names, which are non-different from him, spend time taking Dharshan of his deities and serving Him through other methods of Bhakti will quickly arouse love for Him.
