| Love and the Lie of “I Will Love You Forever” |
|
| Love: we fall into it, fall out of it, and we habitually lie about it. Hands up who hasn’t said, “I will love you forever.” It sounds great and don’t we love to hear it. Imagine being told. “I will love you for around three days and then, knowing how I am, I’ll probably start getting irritated by your habits and then slowly (or rapidly) go off you.” Not very romantic, and yet likely to be more honest than the happily-ever-after phrase above. |
|
| Why are we so afraid of love that we cannot be honest about it? |
|
| “Love brings a thousand and one lies into life. It is humiliating. One feels caged, imprisoned, compromised. One feels paralyzed, crippled. One feels chained in a thousand and one ways. That's why people are afraid of love.” |
|
| Osho, This Very Body the Buddha, Talk #10 |

The Path of Love
Understanding That Nothing Is Perfect in Life
Kabir is a 15th-century Indian mystic. He opposed superstition, empty ritualism and bigotry. His teachings include scathing attacks against Brahmanical pride, caste prejudice and the very concept of untouchability, as well as exposing dogmatism and bigotry. He was embraced by disciples who had been raised in both Hindu and Muslim traditions.
Here, Osho introduces readers to this extraordinary mystic and his songs, bringing both to light in such a way as to show how they are both timeless and utterly relevant to our time. The path of love Osho describes, through the songs of Kabir, is a journey that seeks out and celebrates the divine that is hidden in the ordinary, the love that becomes not just a feeling one has, but ultimately a state of being that one is. |

| Meditation of the Month |
 |
| |
| “If you hoard the breath you will die because it will become stale, it will become dead. It will lose that vitality, the quality of life. So is the case with love – it is breathing; each moment it renews itself. So whenever one gets stuck in love and stops breathing, life loses all significance. And that’s what is happening to people: the mind is so dominant that it even influences the heart and makes even the heart possessive! The heart knows no possessiveness but the mind contaminates it, poisons it.” Osho |
