True Love is the very state of your being. It needs no object to love, it is not possessive, it just is, in and of itself. In your purest form, you are love. It is this center of the mandala, it is the evolutionary drive, we fell from love, and we are again trying to reach it, to realize we are it once again. Stop making love complicated, stop thinking about, its simple, just let it flow.
From Osho: There are as many loves as there are people. Love is a hierarchy, from the lowest rung to the highest, from sex to superconsciousness. 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. Adolf Hitler will have one idea of love, Gautam Buddha another; and they will be diametrically opposite, because they are at two extremes. 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, bitter pill sugar-coated. If you can watch it, if you try to understand it, in that very understanding you will reach another rung, you will start moving upwards. Only at the highest peak, when love is not a relationship any more, when love becomes a state of your being, the lotus opens totally and great perfume is released -- but only at the highest peak. At its lowest, love is just a political relationship. At its highest, love is a religious state of consciousness. I love you too, Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return.
Now that is what I meant by using language that actually conveys something. Don't 100% agree, maybe 90%, but the point is it is concise, understandable and not full of a bunch of catch-phrases and cliches designed to sound profound. Rygoody, chinacat, take a lesson from OSHO.
