Human beings exist in a paradoxical state when it comes to relationships. Physiologically, man is polygamous by nature. The biological drive to seek multiple partners is an evolutionary mechanism designed to ensure the survival of the species. This primal instinct is embedded in our DNA, just like in many other species in the animal kingdom. However, while our bodies may be wired for variety, our minds operate on a different frequency.
Psychologically, most individuals are monogamous or can deeply connect with only one person at a time. The emotional energy, commitment, and mental investment required to sustain multiple relationships are overwhelming for the human psyche. Society has structured relationships around this psychological need, reinforcing monogamy as the norm to create stability, both personally and socially. Interestingly, from a cosmic perspective, marriage as an institution holds no significance—it is a man-made construct designed for social order rather than an absolute truth of existence.
To harmonize these conflicting realities, one must make a conscious choice: either expand the mind to embrace psychological polygamy or discipline the body to adhere to monogamy. Trying to suppress one’s natural instincts without understanding them leads to frustration and suffering. Instead, approaching relationships with awareness, whether through self-control or mental expansion, can bring about harmony. Ultimately, inner clarity and alignment with one's personal truth determine the path to fulfilling relationships, beyond societal expectations or conditioned beliefs.
