Osho on love
Osho103 quotes“Yes, I would like you to love yourself, because unless you love yourself you cannot love anybody else. You don’t know what love is if you have not loved yourself.”
More from Osho
I love, because my love is not dependent on the object of love. My love is dependent on my state of being.
OshoOsho There is a deep desire in everyone to commit suicide for the simple reason, that life seems to be meaningless.
OshoOsho Aloneness is your nature. You were born alone, you will die alone. And you are living alone without understanding it, without being fully aware of it. You misunderstand aloneness as loneliness; it is simply a misunderstanding. You are sufficient unto yourself.
OshoOsho A mature person does not fall in love, he or she rises in love. Only immature people fall; they stumble and fall down in love.
OshoOsho It is a strange thing ,that every child is born with a closed hand , and every body dies with an open hand.
OshoOsho The past is no more and the future is not yet: both are unnecessarily moving in directions which don’t exist.
OshoOsho Respect life, revere life. There is nothing more holy than life, nothing more divine than life.
OshoOsho The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.
OshoOsho If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.
OshoOsho Freedom is the intrinsic desire of each man, each woman – utter freedom, absolute freedom.
OshoOsho One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
OshoOsho A woman is to be loved, not understood. That is the first understanding.
OshoOsho Falling in love, you remain a child; rising in love, you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.
OshoOsho Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed.
OshoOsho Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing.
OshoOsho A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.
