Swami Krishnananda is a saint associated with the Divine Life Society, Sivananda Ashram,
Your energy becomes less and less as you desire things more and more. Whoever wants things, loses energy; whoever is one with things, becomes filled with energy. One who is united with things has no desire for things; this is the way one becomes filled with energy.
When things stand outside us, they take away our energy; if they are one with us, they give us energy. This is the secret of Yoga. Nothing should stand outside us; everything should be one with us. You cannot be a friend of anybody when that person is outside you. A person has to be one with you in thought and being; then he is a real friend. This is how you can be a friend of all things, even God Himself.
When you become the very things that you want, all energy comes in. This is the secret behind success. You have to intensely feel that you already have what you want. Then things will really come to you, without your asking for them. This is how energy increases. Yoga is the technique by which you do not run after things, but things, by themselves, will come to you. You have not only to know a thing but also be it.

To try to be at one with another person is not really possible. The other person has different personality to oneself. There will therfore be disagreements. Even if the person is the same as oneself then out of sheer boredom one will still disagree. To agree that there are differences is to agree to disagree.
The union of a man and a woman is the coming together of two persons. Both have different characteristics and traits. For sure they do not always get on together. The union of a man with a man and a woman with a woman is fraught with stress. Both are similar but both find it difficult to settle with each other.
Any union involving the merging two individuals is going to be troublesome because there are differences and they need their own space.
One can never really know the other well enough and vice versa.
