Realisation of Brahman and relationships
Is it possible for a person who has realised Brahman to carry on a personal relationship with a partner?

Yes, my friend Yes.  A very "unattached" partnership for the "realized one."

my understanding is that a person who has realised brahman while still in his human form is called a jivanmukta. such a person continues to live to allow the rest of his karma to work itself out. he would not engage in relationships as he would have conquered all his senses. most memorable example of such a person was ramkrishna paramhansa. after realizing the mother goddes not anly thru traditional hindu bhakti, he also realized brahman by following islam, christianity, tantra, advaita and other traditions. he was married to sharda-devi, but their marriage was never consummated... |
