Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins but never ends.It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues\u2013 it is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

All of his discourses on various topics have been compiled in 650 books, but the teachings of enlightened mystic Osho can be summed up in one word, and that word is Love. He says: The highest state of love is not a relationship at all, it is simply a state of your being. Just as trees are green, a lover is loving. They are not green for particular persons, it is not that when you come they become green. The flower goes on spreading it\u2019s fragrance whether anybody comes or not, whether anybody appreciates or not. The flower does not start releasing its fragrance when it sees that a great poet is coming by \u2018Now this man will appreciate, now this man will be able to understand who I am.\u2019 And it does not close its doors when it sees that a stupid, idiotic person is passing there\u2014insensitive, dull, a politician or something like that. It does not close itself \u2013 \u2018What is the point? Why cast pearls before swine?\u2019 No, the flower goes on spreading its fragrance. It is a state of being, not a relationship\u2026<\/p>\n
