When you lose touch with inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world. Your innermost sense of self, of who you are, is inseparable from stillness. This is the I Am that is deeper than name and form. – Eckhart Tolle.
First meditate, be blissful, then much love will happen of its own accord. Then being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Then it is simple, too. You don’t depend on others and you don’t make others dependent on you. Then it is always a friendship, a friendliness. It never becomes a relationship, it is always a relatedness. You relate, but you don’t create a marriage. Marriage is out of fear, relatedness is out of love. You relate; as long as things are moving beautifully, you share.
Heaven is here – you just have to know how to live it. And hell too is here, and you know perfectly well how to live it. It is only a question of changing your perspective, your approach towards life.
Nothing is ever born and nothing ever dies. Things only move between manifestation and unmanifestation. – Osho
If taste is not lived and experienced, you are just stuffing yourself. Go slowly and be aware of taste. Do not just go on swallowing things. Taste them unhurriedly and become the taste. – Osho
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it. – Osho
Live this day in all its beauty, in all its joy, in all its pain, agony, ecstasy. Live it in its totality – in its darkness, in its light. – Osho
Life exists only at this very moment, and in this moment it is infinite and eternal. The present moment is infinitely small; before we can measure it, it has gone, and yet it exists forever. – Alan Watts
Those who have loved deeply can become deep meditators; those who have loved in a relationship are now in a position to be by themselves. For people who have never loved, meditation is very, very difficult. – Osho
What an astonishing thing a book is. One glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic. – Carl Sagan
