This is another compilation from many discourses of osho....I have posted few quotes given below. I am not sure the compilation can be that useful as osho never suggested to do so...because it takes the real context away but still I guess it is beautiful.....I would say one should read the book --The Path of Love --They are the songs from mystic Kabir. OSHO had commented it through the series of discourses.
’’Love starts in a very small way but one should not stop there. One should go on flowing, moving. Love should never become static. It should remain dynamic. The moment it becomes static it starts stinking, the moment it becomes static, it loses the freshness of a river, the aliveness of a river. It becomes just a muddy pool. People call it marriage. It was just a muddy pool and such a small pool and they go on round and round chasing each other and creating more mud and throwing mud at each other.
One can rise a little more when love becomes just friendliness. I am not even calling it friendship because that might give you the idea of relationship. I call it friendliness. No possessiveness, no jealousy no desire to dominate. When love starts giving freedom to the other- total freedom, unconditional freedom then it becomes friendliness and that is the highest human consciousness can reach. Very few people have known friendliness, their names can be counted on the fingers. It is a sad thing that such a vast humanity goes on missing their own intrinsic potential.
Love is non-serious, it is alive, it is playful. Love makes life fun, a celebration and my whole effort here is to create for the first time in the whole history of humanity.
A new kind of religious person for whom laughter is far more valuable than prayer. For whom playfulness is far more spiritual than seriousness-who should be closer to a poet than to a philosopher, closer to music than to mathematics, closer to sensitivity rather than being dull, closed, walled from all sides, afraid of life escapist, renouncing life -no that is not going to be my sannyasins’ way.
If one can remain aware of it then love is all that there is to spirituality, except love, whatsoever goes on in the name of spirituality is all bullshit, esoteric bullshit, occult bullshit.
But silence should be the source of love, not the noisy mind but a silent center of your being. Love should come from the innermost shrine cool, silent, meditative, aware, alert, watchful then love can give you the most beautiful experiences of life. It can give you the master key that opens all the locks of all the mysteries of existence but silence is a must without silence love simply drives people insane.
Love is togetherness. Silence simply means entering into your aloneness before you enter into somebody’s being or somebody’s life. You have to be acquainted with your aloneness. You have to be rooted in your aloneness. You have to know exactly what your aloneness is only then can love blossom out of it.
Love is like a tree trying to reach to the stars, the longing for the stars and meditation is growing roots inwards deeper to the very rock-bottom of your being.
When the roots reach to your ultimate silence, the space where one hears the sound of one hand clapping then your tree can blossom into the sky which can have a dialogue with the stars
Love has failed in the world because meditation was not the source of it. Love can succeed and love has to succeed otherwise humanity is doomed. Love is the only hope but love can succeed only with a meditative background.
So my whole teaching here is to do two things one, to help you to become meditative, to reach your absolute intimate and private being and the second part is to grow into love. When meditation blossoms into love, a man is no more a man he has transcended humanity, you can only call him a god a Buddha, a Jesus, a Krishna !!!’’’’’’-OSHO
