ABOUT LOVE. (Osho)
Love is the luminosity, the fragrance of knowing oneself, of being oneself. It is overflowing joy. Love occurs when you discover who you are; Then you can do nothing but share your being with others. Love occurs when you realize that you are not separated from existence, when you feel in an orgasmic organic unity with everything that exists.
Love is not a relationship, it is a state of being, it has nothing to do with anyone else. One does not "fall in love", one is love. And of course when one is love, one is "in love"; but that is a result, a consequence; That is not the origin of love. Its origin is that one is love.
And who can be love? Actually, if you are not aware of who you are, you cannot be love. You will be scared Fear is just the opposite of love. Remember, hate is not the opposite of love, as people believe; hate is love turned upside down, it is not the opposite of love. The true opposite of love is fear: in love one expands, in fear one shrinks; in fear one closes, in love one opens; in fear one doubts, in love trusts; in fear one feels alone, in love disappears; So it is not a matter of loneliness at all. When you are not, how can you feel alone? Then the trees, the birds, the clouds, the sun and the stars are still within you. Love occurs when you have known your inner paradise ...
Children are free from fear, born without fear. If society can support them, help them climb trees, climb mountains and swim in oceans and rivers; if you can help them in any way possible to become adventurers, adventurers of the unknown; If you can create a great search instead of giving them dead beliefs, then children will become great lovers of life. And that is the true religion. There is no religion higher than love.
Meditate, dance, sing and dig deeper into yourself. Listen more carefully to the birds. Look at the flowers with respect, marvel; Do not accumulate knowledge, do not label things. That is knowledge: the great art of labeling everything, categorizing everything. From now on, start learning to play the flute or the guitar. Meet people, mix with her, as much as you can, because through each person a different face of God is shown. Learn from people. Do not be afraid; This existence is not your enemy. This existence protects you, is willing to help you in every way possible. If you trust, you will begin to feel a new source of energy in you; That energy is love. That energy wants to bless all existence, because in that energy one feels blessed. And when you feel blessed, what else can you do except bless the whole existence?
Love is a deep desire to bless all existence.
