TREASURES: ALONENESS IS A FLOWER
Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart.
"Aloneness is a flower, a lotus blooming in your heart.
Aloneness is positive, aloneness is health.
It is the joy of being yourself.
It is the joy of having your own space.
Yes, when you are in love you feel aloneness.
Aloneness is beautiful, aloneness is a blessing.
But only lovers can feel it, because only love gives you the courage to be alone.
Only love creates the context to be alone.
Only love fulfills you so deeply that you are no more in need of the other-you can be alone.
Love makes you so integrated that you can be alone and ecstatic.
Love becomes the contrast: love and aloneness are two polarities of one energy...
So when you are in love, a great need arises to be alone-only in love, remember, a great need arises to be alone. And real lovers are those who give freedom to the other to be alone. They will be full of energy soon and they will come together and shower their energy on each other.
When alone, the great desire to share will arise.
See the rhythm:
When in love, you would like to be alone; When alone, soon you would like to be in love.
Lovers come close and go away, come close and go away-there is a rhythm.
Going away is not anti-love: going away is just getting your aloneness again, and the beauty of it, and the joy of it.
But whenever you are full of joy, an intrinsic, inevitable necessity arises to share it.
Nobody can contain joy-and that joy that can be contained by you is not of much worth.
The joy is bigger than you, it cannot be contained by you.
It is a flood!
You cannot contain it; you have to seek and search for people to share it with.
What happens in your love affairs happens on a higher plane to all the Buddhas.
When Buddha became enlightened, he became so full of energy, so full of joy, that he had to share it.
For forty-two years he went from one village to another, constantly sharing his joy.
That's what I am doing with you..
It is out of too much that sharing arises.
And enlightenment, Buddhahood, Christ-consciousness, bridge you with the God.
Infinite sources of energy become available to you.
Inexhaustible sources are yours.
You can go on sharing, and the more you share, the more goes on coming to you.
Aloneness has reached its ultimate peak.
The Master is the most alone person in the world, and hence the Master is the greatest lover in the world.
You cannot find a greater lover than a Buddha or a Christ.
But now the love is so qualitatively different that it has the quality of friendship, compassion, empathy.
The passion has disappeared.
Celebrate aloneness, celebrate your pure space, and great song will arise in your heart.
And it will be a song of awareness, it will be a song of meditation.
It will be a song of an alone bird calling in the distance
--not calling to somebody in particular, but just calling because the heart is full and wants to call,
because the cloud is full and wants to rain,
because the flower is full and the petals open and the fragrance is released.. unaddressed.
Let your aloneness become a dance." - Osho
