To Be Alone
And when a mature person gives love,
she gives without any strings attached to it:
she simply gives.
And when a mature person gives love, she feels grateful
that you have accepted her love,
not vice versa.
She does not expect you to be thankful for it
– no, not at all, she does not even need your thanks.
She thanks you for accepting her love.
And when two mature persons are in love,
one of the greatest paradoxes of life happens, one of the most beautiful phenomena:
they are together and yet tremendously alone,
they are together so much so
that they are almost one.
But their oneness
does not destroy their individuality; in fact, it enhances it:
they become more individual.
Two mature persons in love
help each other
to become more free.
There is no politics involved,
no diplomacy,
no effort to dominate.
How can you dominate
the person you love?
the person you love?
Just think over it.
Domination is a sort of hatred, anger, enmity.
How can you even think of dominating a person you love? You would love to see the person totally free, independent; you will give him more individuality.
That’s why I call it the greatest paradox:
they are together so much so that they are almost one, but still in that oneness they are individuals.
Their individualities are not effaced; they have become more enhanced. The other has enriched them as far as their freedom is concerned.
Immature people falling in love
destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage,
make a prison.
destroy each other’s freedom, create a bondage,
make a prison.
Mature persons in love
help each other to be free;
they help each other to destroy all sorts of bondage's.
And when love
flows with freedom
there is beauty.
When love flows
with dependence
there is ugliness.
Remember, freedom is a higher value than love.
So if love is destroying freedom,
it is not of worth.
Love can be dropped
freedom has to be saved;
freedom is a higher value
And without freedom
you can never be happy,
that is not possible.
Freedom
is the intrinsic desire
of each man, each woman
So anything
that becomes destructive to freedom,
one starts hating it.
Do you hate the man you love?
Do you hate the woman you love?
Your hate; it is a necessary evil, you have to tolerate it.
Because you cannot be alone you have to manage to be with somebody, and you have to adjust to the other’s demands. You have to tolerate, you have to bear them.
Love
to be really love,
has to be being-love, gift-love.
Being-love
means a state of
love.
When you have arrived home,
when you have known who you are,
then a love arises in your being.
Then the fragrance spreads
and you can give
it to others.
How
can you give something
which you don’t have?
To give it,
the first basic requirement
is to have it.
