Quotes from The Koan of Relationships

    “Love knows no boundaries.  Love cannot be jealous, because love cannot possess.  It is ugly, the very idea that you possess somebody because you love.  You possess somebody – it means you have killed somebody and turned him into a commodity.   Only things can be possessed.  Love gives freedom.  Love is freedom.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

      “You have to create the atmosphere of happiness around you.  If everybody is miserable, how can you be happy?  You will be affected.  You are not a stone, you are a very delicate being, very sensitive.  If everybody is miserable around you, their misery will affect you.  Misery is as infectious as any disease.  Blissfulness is also infectious as any disease.  If you help others to be happy, in the end you help yourself to be happy.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships

        “A self-centered person is always seeking his happiness.  And this is the beauty of it, that the more you seek your happiness the more you will help others to be happy.  Because that is the only way to be happy in the world.  If everybody else around you is unhappy, you cannot be happy, because man is not an island.  He is part of the vast continent.  If you want to be happy, you will have to help others who surround you to be happy.  Then – and only then – can you be happy.” ~ Osho, Love, Freedom, Alonenss: The Koan of Relationships
