The Bhagavad Gītā reveals something uncomfortable about attraction...

[0:00]They're not the one because they excite you. Here's the actual sign if they're actually the one. According to Vedic philosophy, the one isn't some random spark or fairytale romance. There are three different types of soul connections and most people end up confusing the last one with the first one. See, the first one is your karmic bonds. These are soul contracts with people to teach you lessons, heal wounds, repay debts from the past. They feel intense, they feel magnetic, high chemistry, but they're often just temporary teachers. Think kind of trauma bonds and toxic relationships that give you butterflies and sadly, everyone believes that this is the one. But there's something better, Dharmic bonds, the ones who walk beside you in purpose. They strengthen your discipline, they help you step into your highest self, they support your values. They help you live your duties for higher purpose, they make you more stable and aligned. That's more the one energy. And then finally, the rarest connection which a Dharmic bond can evolve into, it's your Moksha bonds and this is where your souls enable each other for spiritual liberation. So how do you actually know if they're the one? It's not because they make you feel butterflies, but because they make you more you. They make you a higher version of you, they align you with your purpose, your highest most authentic self. They calm your chaos and they open your heart to something pure.
