Do We Really Need Someone to Feel Whole, or Are We Whole Already?
Rudrani always believed her happiness lay in finding someone who would "complete" her. Like many, she thought relationships were meant to fill the gaps she felt inside. But, despite multiple relationships, she felt more lost each time. Disappointment and heartache followed her quest for "the one."
One day, during a quiet walk in the hills, she met a serene old hermit who, after listening to her story, asked a simple question, “Why do you believe someone else must complete you?” He explained that the happiness she sought wasn’t in others but within herself. Inspired, Rudrani began exploring her inner world, letting go of expectations and insecurities. Over time, a profound sense of joy arose within her—a happiness that no one else could give or take away.
Now, her relationships were no longer based on need but on shared joy. When she eventually met someone special, she approached it not to “find happiness” but to share her own. With no pressure to fulfill each other’s voids, the relationship blossomed naturally.
Rudrani discovered that true completeness lies within, and from that place, her connections became effortlessly beautiful. Real love, she realized, is the expression of joy—not the pursuit of it.
