Shri Anand Monahar,
To be frank I haven't done with a bit of study on TA...
What I have said in my post #34 is what I have been saying all these while..
I feel, the Opening Post has been complicated here and distracted with too many comprehensions. Off course, it all stimulates our brains well and facilitate exchange of views on branched out points.
We humans would have no purpose on this Earth if we are deprived with "the need of the self". So, there is nothing to remain focused and elaborate on this.
When we talk about relationships, which does not work out and sustain unless there exists mutual acceptance of the other in Toto, all I am saying is - we end up with some or other compromises, adjustments and even losing something that we would prefer to have for our self. We end up graciously accepting "the loss for the self" while evaluating the values of the other likeable individual in our life.
That's how we accept the other completely and make the other complete, despite some or the other natural human flaws of each other.
As well, we should not have a wrong perception that, though we graciously agree "the loss for the self" in a relationship, we are in fact still serving our supreme self and that the compromises and losses for the sake of the other are flawed. And that there is no greater surrender with dedication other than to the God. We need to value the other human in our most revered relationship of samsaaram (though you don't find the other equally dedicated towards you), fulfill our role with reasonable selflessness, that would amount to serving the Purest Supreme Self that is dedicated to God and Spirituality.
I would define "the loss for the self" in a relationship as "The Purest Supreme Self" where you lose to keep yourself in tact, fulfilling your duties, responsibilities, moralities, trust worthiness, care and protection and consideration towards the other, in your most valuable relationship.
For the two individuals in the relationship, to have the sense of being completely facilitated with each one's role and living each one's complete life, each of them should be completely accepted by the other, unmindful of each individual's unique flaws as Human.
I give the significance of quote in the OP most importantly to that of human relationships that leads to the formation, growth and sustenance of family relationships. And agree with the beauty of relations, that facilitates each other to be complete, having completely accepted each other, the way each other are.
