The True Essence of Marriage by Lan Xin (Lanxin Samei）

The greatest tribulation of marriage

is never betrayal nor separation

never outside intrusion nor the tides of fate

All marital weariness and regret

stem from one single truth

in trivial daily life you lose the most precious self

When you lose yourself

you bow low and dim your soul into quiet gloom

When you lose yourself

you neglect your grace and fade your innate radiance and strength

When you lose yourself

you abandon passion seal your light and surrender your life value

When you lose yourself

you lose your pride your courage and live without dignity and peace

You must understand

the one who abandons herself

is the deadliest hidden outsider in marriage

Turn your gaze from others

return all your treasure devotion and faith to your own soul

You are the absolute origin of life the ultimate number one

lovers children family and career are merely zeros that follow

Reverse this order

and all pursuits in life turn empty and vain

The world is vast and boundless

nothing matters more than living firmly as yourself

Self‑love is a woman’s supreme power

a lucid state of life an inborn awareness rooted deep in the soul

It is your radiant light reaching the vast universe

your solid armor against all worldly storms

your eternal blazing faith that keeps your life endlessly thriving
