Osho often advice us to follow two coerces of action that seems to be incompatible each other. First he tell us to be completely mindless, that mines we don't now what is happening in moment or what is going outside, and other side he ask us to be full awareness that means we should aware about moment what is happening so i want to know  how can we do both same time?

RELATIONSHIP ::
 RELATIONSHIP ::

ALONENESS

ImageWe are alone. The whole earth may be crowded but still every individual is alone. Even when you are in a crowd you are alone. This loneliness is unbearable and you want to get rid of this loneliness, so you create these relationships to forget yourself and your loneliness. For some time you feel that you are not alone.

“Man is lonely, very lonely. With this loneliness you can do only two things: either you make a world of your own or you enter sannyas. Making a world means making relationships so that loneliness can be forgotten. And the meaning of entering into sannyas is accepting this loneliness because this is your nature. Do not run away from it, do not avoid it; accept it, embrace it. This is your nature. You will not get anywhere by running away from it. You have done this in innumerable lives and you have failed. You have gained nothing except failure.
Sannyas means: one who has accepted his loneliness -- now he does not whistle, he does not sing, nor does he make any relationship -- he is absolutely satisfied with himself.


It is very interesting to note that the more you run from yourself the more you will have to run -- the more you will get scared of loneliness. The more you accept to be with yourself the more you will be able to find that the loneliness is not loneliness but aloneness. There is a difference between loneliness and aloneness. Loneliness means that you miss the presence of the other. To be alone means that being by oneself is enough. Loneliness is painful but there is bliss in being alone. When Shankara is alone he is by himself, but when you say that you are alone you are lonely.


Being lonely means that you feel the absence of the other. Aloneness means that you are happy to be with yourself. Aloneness means you have fallen in love with yourself. Meditation means to be in love with yourself. Meditation means to make such a relationship with yourself that there is no need to make a relationship with anyone else.
Meditation means to be fulfilled in oneself. Your world, your whole world is in you. There is nothing lacking. You are complete, you are whole, you are the divine, there is no need for you to go anywhere. This inner state means sannyas.


We make the world because the loneliness hurts. We try to fill this loneliness with money, with friends, with family, with religion, caste, nation. We make so many efforts to fill this inner void because this wound is painful. But it is wrong to think of it as a wound; it is not a wound.


Last night a sannyasin came to me and said that since she has started meditation her heart seems to have died. There is no desire to make any relationship with anyone, there seems no interest in love; even friendship seems meaningless. She was very sad... because she has come from the West and in the West if love starts disappearing then people think that the whole of life is finished, if feelings disappear and relationships break, then people think that now there is no meaning in life. This is their definition. So she was sad.


We in the East have done a deeper research. We have discovered that when a person stays wholly within himself, then all relationships dissolve. It is a very fortunate thing to happen; it is not something to be unhappy about. When a person becomes stable within himself, sex dissolves and the keenness to make relationships with others also disappears. The feeling of gratitude is so much that one does not want to make any relationship with anyone. No longer will that person beg of others to have some relationship with him, no longer will he say that "I cannot live without you." Now he can live alone. And the person who can live alone, really lives! The other type of living is only a deception, an illusion. If you cannot live alone how can you live with others?

 

So I told that young woman, that sannyasin, "Do not be scared, do not be unhappy. This definition of yours is wrong. This definition of the West is wrong. Be happy, be blissful; how fortunate you are that you no longer desire any relationship."


Relationship only gives you pain and anguish. This is quite natural also, because when two unhappy persons meet how can they give happiness to each other? The mathematics is quite clear: when two unhappy persons meet, then the unhappiness does not just become double, it multiplies many times more. You are looking for the other person because you are not happy. You are not happy alone, so you are looking for the other. The other is also not happy to be alone and he is also looking at you with the same expectation. Like this two unhappy people meet in the hope of getting happiness. But they do not get happiness. It is not possible because two beggars are begging of each other and neither of them is a giver -- both of them are beggars. Both of them go on expecting from each other. Whenever you love anyone you expect him to return your love.
People tell me, "We give lots of love to others but others do not love us." How can you love? Love flows only from the heights of bliss. The river of love only comes out of the peak of bliss. You are not happy, you are not blissful, you are begging, and the other person is also begging. Neither of you has anything to give to the other, but you go on waiting to receive some love in charity! As you go on waiting the disappointment starts.
Until a person is happy within himself no one else can make him happy.”

"Make that love last"

 

Wednesday, June 25, 2006

 

Just the other night, a beautiful woman who is meditating here told me that she has fallen in love with a man and things are going really fantastically; the relationship is beautiful.

That is not something to brag about. The question is: Can the beautiful relationship remain beautiful?

All relationships start in beauty, in sweetness, in harmony. All relationships start as they should be, but sooner or later, things start falling apart. Sooner or later, the negative asserts, sooner or later the ugliness comes up. What you do then is the question."

But the woman said, "It will not come." All that she said, summarized, will mean that she is an exception; it is not going to happen. And that is the foolishness of all lovers. That's how all lovers think, that it is not going to happen to them. And when it has happened, then it is too late. Then you cannot put things right again. When things start going wrong, there is no way to put them right again. Even if you put them right, they will never be the same. It is as if you cup has broken. You can put it right; you can glue it together. But it will never be the same again. It is better to handle it carefully from the beginning.

The first thing to know is that every relationship starts good and every relationship ends bad, yours included. It is very easy to see that others were unaware. "But we two, who have fallen in love; we are different" - that is the idea of everybody. The woman was very confident, and in that very confidence, is the problem. In that very confidence, she will miss; because when you are so confident, you don't take any precautions. When you are so confident you don't try to be aware of what is happening. Then you move unaware, and all that is in you is bound to come up.

In the beginning, when two lovers meet, they show their beautiful faces. Their gracefulness infinite. Their care about each other is absolute. It has to be so because both are showing their beautiful parts. But when they are together for twenty-four hours, then it will be impossible. It will be too heavy to keep the ugly parts always hidden. The ugly parts will take revenge; they will start coming up. When you fall in love, it is called fall because it helps you to be unconscious. It is a fall.

You become unconscious; you are behaving very mechanically. Then, when the hate starts coming, you will be a victim of that too. If you really want to change your life, start immediately. If you have fallen in love, make it awareness. Do things with full awareness. See that you are showing your positive aspects and you are hiding the negative. See well that this cannot last long, so something has to be done. If the relationship has to become really intimate, if it is to last long, then something has to be done. And that something has to be done in you, not in the other. Whenever you throw the responsibility on the other, you are avoiding awareness. A man who is crying to be aware will always see that, "I am responsible; I am doing something wrong." It is not a question of whether the other is doing wrong or not. That is his problem. Your problem is whether you are doing something unconsciously. If you are doing something unconsciously, then things cannot go on being beautiful forever. Then all that is there is going to be temporary. It cannot have the quality of the eternal; it cannot have timeless beauty and divinity in it.
