LOVE IS SUFFERING BOTH WAYS - I SAY FOLLOW THE DIVINE WAY - OSHO
REMAIN TRUE TO LOVEI AM IN FAVOR OF LOVE.LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU: BE TRUE TO LOVE, AND DON’T BOTHER ABOUT PARTNERS. WHETHER ONE PARTNER OR MANY PARTNERS IS NOT THE QUESTION. THE QESTION IS WHETHER YOUR ARE TRUE TO LOVE. IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN OR WITH A MAN AND YOU DON’T LOVE HIM, YOU LIVE IN SIN. IF YOU ARE MARRIED TO SOMEBODY AND YOU DON’T LOVE THAT PERSON AND YOU STILL GO ON LIVING WITH HIM, MAKING LOVE TO HIM OR HER, YOU ARE COMMITTING A SIN AGAINST LOVE… AND LOVE IS GOD.YOU ARE DECIDING AGAINST LOVE FOR SOCIAL COMFORTS, CONVENIENCES, FORMALITIES. IT IS A WRONG AS IF YOU GO AND RAPE A WOMAN YOU DON’T LOVE YOU GO AND RAPE A WOMAN; IT IS A CRIME- BECAUSE YOU DON’T LOVE THE WOMAN AND THE WOMAN DOES NOT LOVE YOU. BUT THE SAME HAPPENS IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN AND YOU DON’T’T LOVE HER. BUT THE SAME HAPPENS IF YOU LIVE WITH A WOMAN YOU DON’T LOVE HER THEN IT IS A RAPE—SOCIALLY ACCEPTED, OF COURSE, BUT IT IS A RAPE—AND YOU ARE GOING AGAINST THE GOD OF LOVE.SO, LIKE IN THE EAST, PEOPLE HAVE DECIDED TO LIVE WITH ONE PARTNER FOR THEIR WHOLE LIVES; NOTHING IS WRONG. IF YOU RAMAIN TRUE TO LOVE, IT IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS TO REMAIN WITH ONE PERSON, BECAUSE INTIMACY GROWS. BUT, NINETY-NINE PER CENT ARE THE POSSIBILITIES THAT THERE IS NO LOVE; YOU ONLY LIVE TOGETHER. AND BY LIVING TOGETHER A CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP GROWS WHICH IS ONLY OF LIVING TOGETHER, NOT OF LOVE. AND DON’T MISTAKE IT FOR LOVE. BUT IF IT IS POSSIBLE, IF YOU LOVE A PERSON AND LIVE THE HOLE LIFE WITH HIM OR WITH HER. A GREAT INTIMACY WILL GROW AND LOVE WILL HAVE DEEPER AND DEEPER REVELATIONS TO MAKE. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE IF YOU GO ON CHANGING PARTNERS VERY OFTEN. IT IS AN IF YOU GO ON CHANGING A TREE FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, THEN ANOTHER THEN IT NEVER GROWS ROOTS ANYWHERE. TO GROW ROOTS, A TREE NEEDS TO REMAIN IN ONE PLACE. THEN IT GOES DEEPER, AND THEN IT BECOMES STRONGER. INTIMACY IS GOOD, AND TO REMAIN IN ONE COMMITEMENT IS BEAUTIFUL, BUT THE BASIC NECESSITY IS LOVE. IF A TREE IS ROOTED IN A PLACE WHERE THERE ARE ONLY ROCKS AND THERE ARE KILLING THE TREE, THEN IT IS BETTER TO REMOVE IT. THEN DON’T INSIST THAT IT SHOULD REMAIN IN THE ONE PLACE. REMAIN TRUE TO LIFE – REMOVE THE TREE, BECAUSE NOW IT IS GOING AGAINST LIFE.IN THE WEST, PEOPLE ARE CHANGING—TOO MANY RELATION SHIPS. LOVE IS KILLED IN BOTH WAYS. IN THE EAST IT IS KILLED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO CHANGE, IN THE WEST IT IS KILLED BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO REMAIN WITH ONE PARTNER FOR A LONGERTIME – AFRAID BECAUSE IT BECOME A COMMITMENT. SO BEFORE IT BECOME A COMMITMENT, CHANGE. SO YOU REMAIN FLOATING AND FREE, SO A CERTAIN LICENTIOUSNESS IN GROWING. AND IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM, LOVE IS ALMOST CRUSHED, STARVED TO DEATH. LOVE HAS SUFFERED BOTH WAYS: IN THE EAST PEOPLE CLING TO SECURITY, COMFORT, FORMALITY, IN THE WEST THEY CLING TO THEIR EGO’S FREEDOM, NON - COMMITMENT – BUT LOVE IS SUFFERING BOTH WAYS.I AM IN FAVOUR OF LOVE. I AM NEITHER EASTERN NOR WESTERN, AND I DON’T BORTHER TO WHICH SOCIETY YOU BELONG. I BELONG TO NO SOCIETY. I AM IN FAVOUR OF LOVE. ALWAYS REMEMBER: IF IT IS A LOVE RELATIONSHIP, GOOD. WHILE LOVE LASTS REMAIN IN IT AS DEEPLY COMMITTED AS POSSIBLE. REMAIN IN IT AS TOTALLY AS POSSIBLE; BE ABSORBED BY THE RELATIONSHIP. THEN LOVE WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSFORM YOU. BUT IF THERE IS NO LOVE, IT IS BETTER TO CHANGE. BUT THEN, DON’T BECOME AN ADDICT OF CHANGE. DON’T MAKE IT A HABIT. DON’T LET IT BECOME A MACHANICAL HABIT THAT YOU HAVE TO CHANGE AFTER EACH TWO OR THREE YEAR AS ONE HAS TO CHANGE ONE’S CAR AFTER EACH TWO OR THREE YEARS, OR AFTER EACH YEAR. A NEW COMES ACROSS A NEW WOMAN. IT IS NOT MUCH DIFFERENT. A WOMEN IS A WOMAN, IS A MAN. THE DIFFERENCES ARE ONLY SECONDARY BECAUSE IT IS A QUESTION OF ENERGY. THE FEMALE ENERGY IS FEMALE ENERGY. IN EACH WOMAN ALL WOMAN ARE REPRESENTED, AND IN EACH MAN ALL MEN ARE REPRESENTED. THE DIFFRENCES ARE VERY SUPERFICIAL; THE NOSE IS A LITTLE LONGER, OR IT IS NOT A LITTLE LONGER; THE HAIR IS BLOND OR BRUNETTESMALL DIFFERENCES, JUST ON THE SURFACE. DEEP DOWN, THE QUESTION IS OF FEMALE AND MALE ENERGY, SO IF LOVE IS THERE STICK TO IT. GIVE IT A CHANGE TO GROW. BUT IF IT IS NOT THERE. CHANGE BEFORE YOU BECOME ADDICTED TO A RELATIONSHIP WITHOUT LOVE.YOU ASK ME WHETHER TO FOLLW THE EASTERN WAY OR THE WESTERN WAY. NEITHER; YOU FOLLOW THE DIVINE WAY.
