In this blog, I will focus only on why it is hard to find someone to marry. If you understand the philosophies I am sharing the rest will take care of itself. So fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a journey to enlightenment.
LOVE: When hearts beat and eyes meet…together
When I was a little boy LOVE to me was… Loss Of Valuable Energy. As I got into my teens, it became the Loss Of Valuable Emotions. But when my daughter Anahita was born it transformed into the Light Of Valuable Energy.
So, What Is LOVE?
The Mystics say: Pyar Kiya Nahi Jata, Diya Nahi Jata, Bus Ho Jata Hai
Loosely translated:
LOVE is neither GIVEN, nor TAKEN, it just HAPPENS – when two SOULS MEET.
But does this HAPPEN to EVERYONE?
That depends on whether or not you understand the difference between LOVE & SEX.
I believe that: LOVE IS IN THE BEING, while SEX IS IN THE DOING and we are HUMAN BEINGS, not HUMAN DOINGS. That’s why we use the term “BEING IN LOVE” and have never heard the term “DOING IN LOVE”. (Ha Ha).
It is because: “LOVE IS A STATE OF BEING, NOT A MATTER OF DOING.” Lets take a look at some other aspects, which inhibits growth in relationships. I believe that finding a place in society is more like accepting yourself rather than looking for others to accept you.
In 1993, at a First World Zoroastrian Youth Congress, I was chairing a session titled: SINGLE MINGLE WITH A TINGLE BUT NO JINGLE.
During this session a young lady got up and said: “Mr. Amalsad, I am having difficulty finding the right person?” And my reflective response to her was: “Mam, if you would shift your consciousness from finding the right person to being the right person, you will realize that the right person will automatically gravitate towards you.”
About 6-months later, she called me and said: “Mr. Amalsad, do you remember me. I wanted to let you know that your statement about BEING THE RIGHT PERSON literally changed my perspective about life for which I want to thank you. Today, I’m calling to let you know that I am getting married next month.” So I encourage you to build your relationships by BEING THE RIGHT PERSON. In the 1960s during the hippy movement in the West, there was an axiom, which peeled many relationships because it got misinterpreted. “Love means never having to say you are sorry.”
The way I understood it is that: “TRUE LOVE is DIVINE and one did not need to be SORRY for BEING in LOVE – whether or not it got MATERIALIZED in the form one was aspiring.” It would have healed a lot of relationships if this axiom were clarified to read: “Love means never having to say something for which you are sorry.”
Another aspect is the concept of FALLING IN LOVE? A wise person once said: “FALLING IN LOVE IS ITSELF A FALLING, because FALLING is NEGATIVE, when you FALL YOU GET HURT… AND IT CAN BREAK YOUR HEART.”
I believe that we should focus on RISING IN LOVE instead of FALLING in LOVE if we want our relationships to grow and flow with LOVE & LIGHT instead of SHOVE & FIGHT. I also believe that when you fall it creates boundaries, when you rise it becomes boundless. Because when you fall, you end up in a binding relationship, but when you rise, you manifest a bonding relationship. When you FALL the HEART BURNS, but when you RISE the same sensation creates LIGHT.
It is in this moment of CLARITY that LOVE becomes ETERNAL. It has no beginning and when it has no beginning, one does not have to worry about when it will end. All that works out well when we stay tuned with the purpose of LOVE & MARRIAGE. And when that happens, YOUR need for love will no longer become or remain needy. And in doing so, you will bring out the quintessence of love; by recognizing that love is neither physical nor material, it is rather eternal.
May you find love in every fiber of your being and radiate that love in the fiber of every other being. And may you enjoy life with the divine purpose for which you were created.
God Bless you all with long life and happiness.

It's not hard. It takes time and perhaps focus. Some people do not find what they want in our community --ie. ratio of girls to boys, the age differences, parental involvement or more importantly lack of involvement from the suitor, opportunity, prejudice from opposing groups...so many factors. Whomever makes one happy, secure and feel respected is the ultimate goal for most.

Avinash Aswani is a Sindhi and if approached by him be warned that the is NOT Zoroastrian and he is trying to fake it.
The Zoroastrian who has posted the most recent comment - shown above this one - has penetrated a metallic circular object through her left nipple and is, therefore, a disgrace to the Zoroastrian community.
I'm sorry to all of my fellow Zoroastrians but this "unknown" blogger is trying to break up my relationship with my community. Please disregard anything that he has written along with the name he has posted as it is FALSE.
We must all say our prayers to help this unknown blogger.
Manashni, Gavashni, Kunashni
May Ahura Mazda bless you.
Thank You,
Amen.
