Goddess Uma was undergoing a huge tapasya to get Shiv as companion, when seven sages came to test her determination. They explained several faults in Shiv and praised Vishnu in many ways. But Goddess Parvathi remained unperturbed and simply said:
महादेव अवगुन भवन बिष्नु सकल गुन धाम।
जेहि कर मनु रम जाहि सन तेहि तेही सन काम॥
भावार्थ:-माना कि महादेवजी अवगुणों के भवन हैं और विष्णु समस्त सद्गुणों के धाम हैं, पर जिसका मन जिसमें रम गया, उसको तो उसी से काम है॥
(English Translation: The great God Shiv may be full of all faults and Vishnu may be repository of all virtues. One is, however, concerned with him alone who gladdens one’s heart.)
(From Ramcharitmanas)
I wonder even after knowing all such excerpts from religious books, people try to justify how it is un-natural (and unwise) for a boy to be with a boy and how marriage between a man and women is the most ideal. While pre-requisite for an ideal companionship is only love, attachment and concern.
Best wishes to all on the occasion of Mahashivratri.
