"The real love is non pretentious; it simply is. The ordinary love becomes almost sickening, syrupy, drippy, what you call “loveydovey.” It is sickening, it is nauseating. The real love is a nourishment, it strengthens your soul. " #Osho from ' Love, freedom & Aloneness " #love
"The ordinary love only feeds your ego—not the real you but the unreal you." 💖 #Osho from 'Love, Freedom & Aloneness' #love #relationship #freedom #ego
#Osho #love "Real love is considerate but has no concern. If you really love a man you will be considerate of his true need but you will not show unnecessary concern for his foolish, stupid fantasies."
#Osho #love "You will take every care of his needs, but you are not there to fulfill his fictitious desires. You will not fulfill anything that is really going to harm him."
#Osho #love "For example, you will not fulfill his ego, although his ego will be demanding. The person who is too concerned, attached, will fulfill the ego demands—that means you are poisoning your
beloved."
"Love makes you rebellious, revolutionary. Love gives you wings to soar high. Love gives you insight into things,so that nobody can deceive you, exploit you, oppress you. And the priests & the politicians survive only on your blood; they survive only on exploitation" #Osho #love
"All the priests and politicians are parasites. To make you spiritually weak they have found a sure method, one hundred percent guaranteed, and that is to teach you not to love yourself. Because if a man cannot love himself he cannot love anybody else, either" #Osho #love #freedom
"It is by loving others without loving yourself, trying to love others, that the ego arises. The missionaries, the social reformers, the social servants have the greatest egos in the world—naturally, because they think themselves to be superior human beings."
"They are not ordinary— ordinary people love themselves. They love others, they love great ideals, they love God. And all their love is false, because all their love is without any roots. A man who loves himself takes the first step toward real love." #Osho #love #freedom
"It is like throwing a pebble into a silent lake: The first, circular ripples will arise around the pebble, very close to the pebble—naturally, where else can they arise? " #Osho #love #freedom
"And then they will go on spreading; they will reach the farthest shore. If you stop those ripples arising close to the pebble, there will be no other ripples at all. Then you cannot hope to create ripples reaching to the farthest shores; it is impossible." #Osho #love #freedom
"And the priests and the politicians became aware of the phenomenon: Stop people loving themselves and you have destroyed their capacity to love. Now whatsoever they think is love will be only pseudo." #Osho #love #freedom
"It may be duty, but not love—and duty is a four-letter dirty word. Parents are fulfilling their duties toward their children and then in return,
children will fulfill their duties toward their parents. " #Osho #love #freedom
"The wife is dutiful toward her husband and the husband is dutiful toward his wife. Where is love? Love knows nothing of duty. Duty is a burden, a formality. Love is a joy, a sharing; love is informal." #Osho #love #freedom
The man who loves himself enjoys the love so much, becomes so blissful, that the love starts overflowing, it starts reaching others. It has to reach! If you live love, you have to share it. #Osho #love #freedom
You can't go on loving yourself forever,because one thing will
become absolutely clear to you:that if loving one person, yourself, is so tremendously ecstatic and beautiful, how much more ecstasy is waiting for you if you start sharing your love with many,many people! #Osho #love
Slowly the ripples start reaching farther and farther. You love other people, then you start loving animals, birds, trees, rocks. You can fill the whole universe with your love. #Osho #love #freedom
" A single person is enough to fill the whole universe with love, just as a single pebble can fill the whole lake with ripples—a small pebble." #Osho #love #freedom
"Love has to start with this first step: Love Yourself
Don’t condemn yourself. You have been condemned so much, and you have accepted all that condemnation." #Osho #love #freedom
"Now you go on doing harm to yourself. Nobody thinks himself
worthy enough, nobody thinks himself a beautiful creation of God; nobody thinks that he is needed at all. These are poisonous ideas, but you have been poisoned" #Osho #love #freedom
"You have been poisoned with your mother’s milk—and this has been your whole past. Humanity has lived under a dark, dark cloud of self-condemnation. If you condemn yourself, how can you grow? How can you ever become mature?" #Osho #love #freedom
"And if you condemn yourself, how can you worship existence? If you cannot worship existence within you, you will become incapable of worshiping existence in others; it will be impossible #Osho #love #freedom
"You can become part of the whole only if you have great respect for the God that resides within you. You are a host, God is your guest. By loving yourself you will know this: that God has chosen you to be a vehicle." #Osho #love #freedom
"In choosing you to be a vehicle he has already respected you, loved you. In creating you he has shown his love for you. He has not made you accidentally; he has made you with a certain destiny, with a certain potential, with a certain glory that you have to attain." #Osho #love
Yes, God has created man in his own image. Man has to become a God. Unless man becomes a God there is going to be no fulfillment, no contentment." #Osho #love #freedom
"But how can you become a God? Your priests say that you are a sinner. Your priests say that you are doomed, that you are bound to go to hell. And they make you very much afraid of loving yourself. This is their trick, to cut the very root of love." #Osho #love #freedom
"And they are very cunning people. The most cunning profession in the world is that of the priest. Then he says, “Love others.” Now it is going to be plastic, synthetic, a pretension, a performance." #Osho #love #freedom
They say,“Love humanity, your mother country, your motherland,life,existence, God.”Big words, but utterly meaningless.Have you ever come across humanity? You always come across human beings-and you have condemned the first human being that you came across that is you. #Osho #love
"You have not respected yourself, not loved yourself. Now your whole life will be wasted in condemning others. That’s why people are such great fault–finders. They find fault with themselves—how can they avoid finding the same faults in others?" #Osho #love #freedom
"In fact, they will find them and they will magnify them, they will make them as big as possible.That seems to be the only way out; somehow, to save face, you have to do it. That’s why there is so much criticism and such a lack of love" #Osho #love #freedom
"Love yourself ...This can become the foundation of a radical
transformation. Don’t be afraid of loving yourself. Love totally, and you will be
surprised: " #Osho #love #freedom
"The day you can get rid of all self-condemnation, self-disrespect—the day
you can get rid of the idea of original sin, the day you can think of yourself as worthy and loved by existence—will be a day of great blessing." #Osho #love #freedom
From that day onward you will start seeing people in their true light, and you will have compassion. And it will not be a cultivated compassion; it will be a natural, spontaneous flow." #Osho #love #freedom
"And a person who loves himself can easily become meditative, because meditation means being with yourself If you hate yourself—as you do, as you have been told to do, and you have been following it religiously—if you hate yourself, how can you be with yourself? " #Osho #love
"And meditation is nothing but enjoying your beautiful aloneness. Celebrating
yourself; that’s what meditation is all about. Meditation is not a relationship; the other is not needed at all, one is enough unto oneself." #Osho #love #meditation #freedom
"One is bathed in one’s own glory, bathed in one’s own light. One is simply
joyous because one is alive, because one is.The greatest miracle in the world is that you are, that I am. To be is the greatest miracle—and meditation opens the doors of this great miracle." #Osho #love
"But only a man who loves himself can meditate; otherwise you are always escaping from yourself, avoiding yourself. Who wants to look at an ugly face, and who wants to penetrate into an ugly being?" #Osho #love #freedom #meditation
"Who wants to go deep into one’s own mud, into one’s own darkness? Who
wants to enter into the hell that you think you are? You want to keep this whole thing covered up with beautiful flowers and you want always to escape from yourself." #Osho #love #freedom #meditation
"Hence people are continuously seeking company. They can’t be with themselves; they want to be with others. People are seeking any type of company; if they can avoid the company of themselves, anything will do." #Osho #love #freedom #meditation
"They will sit in a movie house for three hours
watching something utterly stupid. They will read a detective novel for hours, wasting their time. They will read the same newspaper again and again just to keep themselves engaged." #Osho #love #freedom #meditation
"They will play cards and chess just to kill time—as if they have too much
time! We don’t have too much time. We don’t have time enough to grow, to be, to rejoice. But this is one of the basic problems created by a wrong upbringing: you avoid yourself." #Osho #love #joy #freedom
"Each child is born beautiful and then we start distorting his beauty, crippling him in many ways, paralyzing him in many ways, distorting his proportion, making him unbalanced. " #Osho #love #children #kids #family
"Sooner or later he becomes so disgusted with himself that he is ready to be
with anybody. He may go to a prostitute just to avoid himself. Love yourself, says Buddha. And this can transform the whole world." #Osho #child #kids #love #freedom
"It can destroy the whole ugly past. It can herald a new age, it can be the beginning of a new humanity." #Osho #love #freedom #Humanity #GreatAwakening
"Hence my insistence on love—but love begins with you yourself, then it can go on spreading. It goes on spreading of its own accord; you need not do anything to spread it." #Osho #love #freedom #Humanity
"Love yourself, says Buddha, and then immediately he adds, and watch.That's
meditation—that is Buddha’s name for meditation.But the first requirement is love yourself, and then watch. If you don’t love yourself, and start watching, you may feel like committing suicide!" #Osho 💖☺️
