Last night I was talking with my childhood friend after many years. He has grown into man and I couldn't see none of his childhood childishness. He is a man, now. And he is in love. So obviously I enquired him about his love life and his partner and about their understanding in life. He answered me short and witty:

In life, you cannot Change (with a pun!) your partner, you can only understand her.
That reminded me of a wonderful quote of Osho about women & men's mentality.

Down the ages, or at least, as seen in my lifetime, one of the questions that doesn't find a solid answer is WHAT IS LOVE? I personally have a considerably complicated (in the eyes of society) love relation and I also witness a few great couples, and also on the contrary, many who were once 'two in one' breaking up their relation. As a result, all my life, this question of 'What is Love?' keeps visiting me as an old faithful dog and everytime I find that the answer I have is different from the one I had earlier.

Sometimes, I have tried to go beyond What is Love and look into Why great lovers who had enjoyed each other's presence get separated as time passes? How does the enjoyment of each other turn into annoyance? How does the desire to be with each other turn to relief of getting separated?
Osho has beautiful answers for this:

Once you are in a relationship you start taking each other for granted– that's what destroys all love affairs. The woman thinks she knows the man, the man thinks he knows the woman. Nobody knows either! It is impossible to know the other, the other remains a mystery. And to take the other for granted is insulting, disrespectful.

To think that you know your wife is very, very ungrateful. How can you know the woman? How can you know the man? They are processes, they are not things. The woman that you knew yesterday is not there today. So much water has gone down the Ganges; she is somebody else, totally different. Relate again, start again, don't take it for granted.

It has been days that I have been with my love, and last night he was with me. Caring me so much he explained how beautiful and peaceful it's to sleep on my lap and on my bosom. Today, having talked with one of my friends Satya who asked me why I haven't written long for BO, I thought I would post on Osho Talks on the quality of Women and then continue blogging (which was dormant for sometime) to share my spiritual and love journey online.

Osho's famous book From Sex to Super Consciousness (call it notorious book, if you wish) is one of his must-read books for all people who want to understand the mystery of sex and find answers to some of our instinct behaviours. Here is an excerpt from ' From Sex to Super Consciousness':

TELL US WHAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKE.

JESUS SAID TO THEM: IT IS LIKE A MUSTARD SEED -- SMALLER THAN ALL SEEDS, BUT WHEN IT FALLS ON THE TILLED EARTH IT PRODUCES A LARGE TREE AND BECOMES SHELTER FOR ALL THE BIRDS OF HEAVEN

Jesus has used this mustard seed very often, for many reasons. One: the mustard seed is the smallest seed. God is invisible, smaller than the smallest, so how can you indicate him? At the boundary of sight is the mustard seed, the smallest thing.... Beyond that you will not be able to understand because beyond is the invisible. The mustard seed is the boundary, the smallest thing in the world of the visible -- you can see it but it is very small. If you go beyond you enter the world of the subtle, that which is smaller than the smallest. This mustard seed exists on the boundary.

And this mustard seed is not only the smallest visible thing, it also has a very mysterious quality: when it grows it becomes the biggest of plants. So it is a paradox: the seed is the smallest and the plant is the biggest. God is the invisible and the universe is the most visible; the universe is the tree, the plant, and God is the seed; God is the unmanifest and the universe is the manifest.

If you break down a seed you will not find the tree there; you can dissect it but you will not find a tree hidden there. And you can say there is no tree and people were just foolish saying that a great tree is hidden in this seed when there is nothing. This is what analysts have always been doing. You tell them that this flower is beautiful; they will take it to the lab and they will dissect it to find where the beauty is.

Seriousness is a deadly disease, Osho says. If you get it, your life is doomed. Oh! Have I been a little serious saying that? Seems so. Ok let me go around the other way. Laughter is a very good healer. It just not only heals our life but also makes our life feel light and happy. Think of life as a game and take it in game spirit, then you don’t have worries in your life. Life is a game. You have nothing to lose… even if you lose, it’s not real. It is just a part of the game…. You will get it somewhere else… Here is what Osho Rajeesh says on Laughter and Seriousness:

"Laughter is one of the things most repressed by society all over the world, in all the ages.Society wants you to be serious. Parents want their children to be serious, teachers want their students to be serious, the bosses want their servants to be serious, the commanders want their armies to be serious. Seriousness is required of everybody.

Laughter is dangerous and rebellious.When the teacher is teaching you and you start laughing, it will be taken as an insult. Your parents are saying something to you and you start laughing -- it will be taken as an insult. Seriousness is thought to be honor, respect.

Naturally laughter has been repressed so much that even though life all around is hilarious, nobody is laughing. If your laughter is freed from its chains, from its bondage, you will be surprised -- on each step there is something hilarious happening.

Life is not serious. Only graveyards are serious, death is serious. Life is love, life is laughter, life is dance, song.The constant repression of laughter has made you laughter blind. Situations are happening everywhere, but you cannot see that there is any reason to laugh. If your laughter is freed from its bondage, the whole world will be full of laughter. It needs to be full of laughter; it will change almost everything in human life.

If there is anything that affects your life more than anything else, it is how a man relates with a woman in marriage life. When you are a child, the quality of your parents’ marriage life affects you (for better or for worse) and when you are mature enough, your own way of relating yourself with your spouse defines the way you live.
Osho believes that the highest point of love is marriage but when he makes such a statement, he doesn’t refer to the legality of marriage. He just refers to the state where a man and a woman melt with each other (regardless of whether the society accepts it as marriage or not). What Osho refers to as marriage has nothing to do with the ceremony accompanied marriage of the society.

It is a merging of two hearts into totality. It is the functioning of two persons in synchronicity -- that is marriage. But quite ordinarily we find that most marriages fail. Either they end up with a life long committed love-fight relationship which none of the partners dare to break, or they split up so easily and find the love they had for each other turned into bitter hate. Osho reasons out that it’s our immaturity or false understanding of love that causes problems in marriage. Be it an arranged marriage or a love marriage, it is bound to have problems, unless love is understood on a new level.

"Christians say Jesus suffered for the sin of the whole humanity. The whole logic is absurd. Adam committed the sin, you are guilty for it; then Jesus suffers for you, and your guilt is forgiven. So the whole deal is between Adam and Jesus you are just puppets. Sometimes Adam leads you so you move into sin, sometimes Adam leads you so you move into sin, and sometimes Jesus leads you so you move into the kingdom of god, but you yourself are nothing. But to exploit religions had to create a guilt feeling. Because of that guilt feeling that you are not accepted as you are, you cannot conceive of yourself as already in the divine, being divine."

"With me this guilt feeling has to be dropped. You are not a sinner and you are not guilty. Whatsoever you are the existence accepts you. Whatsoever you are playing whatsoever game, it is so because the divine wills it so, as you are, you are accepted. "

To me Osho is one of the few masters who dared to speak so openly about a topic like sex which is considered as a sin to be talked about (especially by a holy person.) Osho doesn't take up any mask. He sees sex is not something to be condemned in our life, rather it is an act of celebration. In his speech, The Art of Dying, Osho gives a different perspective on sex which is life affirmative and also natural. I owe much to Osho for his enlightening speeches on Sex, which helped to enjoy sex life to the fullest without any guilt feeling of sin.

But I am not saying that sex is not divine. It is the seed. Love is the tree, prayer is the flowering. Prayer arises out of sex energy. You have to be grateful towards it, you have to respect it. Sex should be respected because everything is going to happen out of it. Life has happened out of it; death is going to happen out of it; love, prayer and God are going to happen out of it. Sex carries the whole blueprint of your destiny. To me, sex is not just sex, sex is all

While I said earlier, I owe much to Osho for his eyeopening speeches, I also feel pity at the situation of the humanity (including me) that we need a person (like Osho) to tell us 'Sex is divine. Enjoy it to the fullest without any guilt. It is natural and nothing wrong in it' and so on...
