And that science is Tantra. To find a soul mate means to find the person with whom all your seven centers meet naturally. That is impossible. Once in a while, a Krishna and a Radha, a Shiva and a Shakti. And when it happens it is tremendously beautiful. But it is like lightning - you cannot depend on it. If you want to read your Bible, you can't depend on it that when the lightning is there you will read. The lightning is a natural phenomenon, but not dependable.” [Rajneesh](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/rajneesh/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance. It is one reading of the quote, not the author's own explanation. Finding a perfect soulmate is rare; attempts to engineer such deep compatibility often fail, likened to unpredictable lightning that cannot be relied upon for spiritual practice. **In simple terms:** Soulmates are rare and cannot be forced. Key Takeaway Seek authentic connections, not forced compatibility. Themes love spirituality relationships search expectations Mood contemplative cautious Type philosophical motivational When to use this quote - dating - friendship - spiritual study - personal growth Key Concepts psychology spiritual practice human connection Questions to Reflect On - Can you find meaning without a perfect soulmate? - How do you balance desire for connection with realistic expectations? A Different Perspective Relying on idealized partners can lead to disappointment; focus on personal development. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No ratings yet [Beautiful](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/beautiful/) [Bible](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/bible/) [Dependable](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/dependable/) [Depends](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/depends/) [East](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/east/) [Happens](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/happens/) [Ifs](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/ifs/) [Impossible](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/impossible/) [Krishna](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/krishna/) [Lightning](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/lightning/) [Mate](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mate/) [Mates](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mates/) [Mean](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/mean/) [Meet Naturally](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/meet-naturally-2452708/) [Natural](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/natural/) [Natural phenomena](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/natural-phenomena/) [Persons](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/persons/) [Phenomenon](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/phenomenon/) [Science](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/science/) [Science Soul](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/science-soul-1681170/) [Science Tantra](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/science-tantra-2452709/) [Seven](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/seven/) [Shakti](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/shakti/) [Shiva](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/shiva/) [Soul](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/soul/) [Soul mate](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/soul-mate/) [Spirituality](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/spirituality/) [Tantra](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/tantra/) [Tantra Soul](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/tantra-soul-2452707/) [Want](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/want/) ## Related quotes > [Spirituality is the science of the Soul.](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/swami-vivekananda/spirituality-is-the-science-of-the-soul/) [Swami Vivekananda](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/swami-vivekananda/) > [No one should approach the temple of science with the soul of a money changer.](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/thomas-browne/no-one-should-approach-the-temple-of-science-with-the-soul-of-a-money/) [Thomas Browne](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/thomas-browne/) > [In short, there are mysteries of science and of soul that will never be understood no matter how hard we measure, no matter how…](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/neal-shusterman/in-short-there-are-mysteries-of-science-and-of-soul-that-will-never/) [Neal Shusterman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/neal-shusterman/) > [Marriage is not a natural phenomenon.
