Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Move from sex to love. Love is the quality or the function of the man who has come to sahasrar; sex is the quality and the function of the man who lives at the lowest lotus ... If on a very hard heart you want to sow the seed of God, it will not grow. Let your heart be soft, let it become receptive. Then it will be like the soft soil of the woodland where sandals grow. ... If the vehicle is not right, if the preparedness is not right, then the whole effort will be lost. You can make a heavy boat, but then it will sink. It will not float in the sea. The Bauls say that only in the boat of love, in soft, feminine passivity, in the boat of songs and dances, does one reach to the other shore. Become more feminine, more soft, like soft soil, and throw out all hard stones from your heart. We ordinarily do just the opposite: we go on gathering doubts and suspicions. We go on destroying our own soil. Ordinarily people love, but they don't have a feeling for love. They exploit love. They even act like lovers, but their love is in the service of gratification. They don't have a feeling for love. They don't love love. They don't have respect, reverence for love. Love remains a lust; it never becomes worship, prayer. ... If you can find a person who is wholly devoted to God, then devote yourself to that person . Osho: The Beloved, Vol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
