“Love is a spiritual phenomenon; lust is physical. Ego is psychological; love is spiritual.”
― Osho, Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

“Love the person, but give the person total freedom. Love the person, but from the very beginning make it clear that you are not selling your freedom.”
― Osho, Being in Love: How to Love with Awareness and Relate Without Fear

“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person--without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
― Osho

“You have to remember that freedom is the highest value and if love is not giving you freedom then it is not love. Freedom is a criterion: anything that gives you freedom is right, and anything that destroys your freedom is wrong. If you can remember this small criterion your life, slowly, will start settling on the right path about everything: your relationships, your meditations, your creativity, whatever you are.”
