The body/mind is closest piece of this universe than person next to you is. Unless you love yourself you can't love others.You don't know what love is if you have not loved yourself. Then only we can serve the body/mind, competition with other people is pointless. For an enlightened being others are not others, his decision will be spontaneous , he can divide the beef pie or give more to someone who is needy.

Personality is a learned thing. The word personality comes from a Latin root that means “mask”—persona. In classical drama the actors used to wear masks to hide their real faces and to show some other face. From persona comes the word personality. It is a face that you wear, not your original face. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona

We destroy creativity. Nobody is born uncreative, but we make ninety-nine percent of people uncreative. To avoid struggle, drop creativity, become a businessman, more clever, more cunning , satisfy peoples demand and ego.

When a Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return. Their love is given for the sheer joy of giving it; it is not a bargain. Only at the highest peak, when love is not a relationship any more, when love becomes a state of your being – but only at the highest peak. That is possible only if love becomes more and more meditative. At the lowest, love is just a political relationship.

India has produced many enlightened people , who are well educated, and understand limitation of scientific methods. They have already answered these questions.

Science is close minded, methodology of science prevents from going in. It does not recognize subjective experiences.

Unless science accepts meditation as valid method of inquiry, it can't know consciousness.

Relation between God and human spirit/soul can be compared between Ocean and Wave. A wave can think it is separate, but it is not.

As far as I know , it can't. You can't reduce consciousness into an object. Many people think that they will find scientific methodologies to reach enlightenment. They are wrong.

No, Science is half , spirituality is half. Science is search in objective world, spirituality is search in subjective world. India neglected science and suffered a lot.

DOES THE SPOON TASTE THE SOUP? A FOOL MAY LIVE ALL HIS LIFE IN THE COMPANY OF A MASTER AND STILL MISS THE WAY. THE TONGUE TASTES THE SOUP. IF YOU ARE AWAKE IN THE PRESENCE OF A MASTER ONE MOMENT WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY. The spoon cannot taste the soup, the spoon is dead - so is the fool. He only appears to be alive; otherwise, his heart is dead, almost dead, because his heart is not functioning. He lives only through the head, and the head is only a spoon. The head is superficial, the heart is at the center. And if the heart is not functioning, you are a spoon, a wooden spoon. You will not taste the soup. THE TONGUE TASTES THE SOUP. Please don't be spoons, be tongues. When you are around Leo, don't be spoons, be tongues - be alive, be sensitive, be heartful, be loving, be trusting. A SINGLE moment is enough! It is not a question of being with a master for a long time; time does not enter into it. It is not a question of quantity, of how long you have lived with the master. The question is how deep you have loved the master, not how long you lived with the master - how intensely, passionately you have become involved with the master...not the length of time, but the depth of your feeling. Then a single moment of awareness, of heart wakefulness, a single moment of silence...and the transmission, the transmission beyond all scriptures.

People love animals, birds, money, cars houses, because it is very difficult to find real love among human beings.

I am ready to bear all harm. It will not be a disaster if one person fails to develop his potential , when rest of the members of form are developing their potential by sharing their own views.

People need perspective of an enlightened master too, what's the harm if one parrot is parroting on this forum, while all others are genuinely helping each other.

Sharing each other's experiences are of little importance. There are so many people around to share their experiences. Each person is different, what is correct from my perspective can be useless for other. Only sharing of words of an enlightened master can be meaningful. A blind man can't guide other blind man.

It is not a fight , it's a play. Idea of fighting and conquering is materialistic, unspiritual !

Hopeless are attracted towards spirituality, but it is not for suffering types. People who are attracted for wrong reasons, drop out sooner or later. Spirituality is the ultimate luxury.

You can try, spend a night alone in an isolated graveyard, I am sure, he will grab you by the neck.

You know it exists , when you are alone at night in an isolated graveyard, you always expect to see him.

Everything I post is from Osho There are many followers of Osho in India, they are doing their jobs and businesses successfully. Only at marketplace you can test your meditation. What's the point, if you prepare for a test and never appear in it ?

There are many, many layers, many planes of love. It all depends on you. If you are existing on the lowest rung, you will have a totally different idea of love than the person who is existing on the highest rung. At the lowest, love is a kind of politics, power politics. Wherever love is contaminated by the idea of domination, it is politics. Whether you call it politics or not is not the question, it is political. And millions of people never know anything about love except this politics – the politics that exists between husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends. It is politics, the whole thing is political: you want to dominate the other, you enjoy domination. And love is nothing but politics sugar-coated, a bitter pill sugar-coated. You talk about love but the deep desire is to exploit the other. And I am not saying that you are doing it deliberately or consciously – you are not that conscious yet. You cannot do it deliberately; it is an unconscious mechanism. Hence so much possessiveness and so much jealousy become a part, an intrinsic part, of your love. That’s why love creates more misery than joy. Ninety-nine percent of it is bitter; there is only that one percent of sugar that you have coated on top of it. And sooner or later that sugar disappears. When you are in the beginning of a love affair, those honeymoon days, you taste something sweet. Soon that sugar wears off, and the realities start appearing in stark nakedness and the whole thing becomes ugly. Millions of people have decided not to love human beings any more. It is better to love a dog, a cat, a parrot; it is better to love a car – because you can dominate them well, and the other never tires to dominate you. It is simple; it is not as complex as it is going to be with human beings. You started topic about 'real love'. Now you talk about 'trade love', in which you can get returns for your investment.

When expectations are there , don't call it love. It may be an attachment, possession , infatuation. I don't expect love from anybody.

When you remove passion and attachment from love, when your love is pure, innocent, formless, when you give in love and don't demand, when love is only a giving, when love is an emperor, not a beggar; when you are happy because someone has accepted your love and you don't trade love, you ask nothing in return, then you are liberating this bird of love into the open sky. Then you are strengthening its wings. Then this bird can set out on the journey to the infinite.

The class of children is the most harmed, oppressed, exploited, distorted class of all classes -- and the most helpless. And you are taking advantage of the helplessness of small children. But you are also not responsible. The same has been done to you. The child comes into the world without any ambition, without any lust for power, without any idea that he is higher, holier, superior. We corrupt their minds. The basic conditioning, the basic imprisonment is created in childhood when the child is so helpless that he has to accept whatsoever conditions you put upon him just to survive. They cannot survive without you. It is a question of life and death! They have to be Christians, Hindus, they have to be Mohammedans, they have to be Jainas, they have to be Buddhists, they have to be communists. Whatsoever you are interested in putting into their minds, you go on putting it in. Instead of making them more alert, more aware, more alive, more reflective, instead of making them more mirrorlike, pure, you make them full of ideas...layers and layers of dust. This is not real love.

Love Basically Is a State of Being "The real thing is not a relationship but a state; one is not in love but one is love. Whenever I talk about love remember this: I am talking about the state of love. Yes, relationship is perfectly good, but the relationship is going to be false if you have not attained to the state of love. Then the relationship is not only a pretension, it is a dangerous pretension, because it can go on befooling you; it can go on giving you the sense that you know what love is, and you don't know. Love basically is a state of being; one is not in love, one is love. "And that love arises not by falling in love with somebody. That love arises by going in – not by falling but by rising, soaring upwards, higher than you. It is a kind of surpassing. A man is love when his being is silent; it is the song of silence. A buddha is love, a Jesus is love – not in love with a particular person, but simply love. Their very climate is love. It is not addressed to anybody in particular, it is spreading in all directions. Whosoever comes close to a buddha will feel it, will be showered by it, will be bathed in it. And it is unconditionally so. "Love makes no conditions, no ifs, no buts. Love never says, "Fulfill these requirements, then I will love you." Love is like breathing: when it happens you are simply love. It does not matter who comes close to you, the sinner or the saint. Whosoever comes close to you starts feeling the vibe of love, is rejoiced. Love is unconditional giving – but only those are capable of giving who have."
