Just a reminder about love…

I particularly like the above quote from Osho because it guides me to enlightenment:  It states that there is nothing we have to do to learn to love, the love essence is there, deep inside we are it; however, to experience and share that love we just have to remove all the obstacles to truly express that same love towards ourselves and towards someone else–i.e., the obstacles being the ego, as in condemning behaviors, judging looks, obsessing about an imagined relationship, jealousy, etc.

And in this one he is again talking about Oneness, the importance of thinking and feeling in terms of one essence, love.  When in a committed relationship, if the mind makes a distance and starts thinking in terms of two, then there will always be differences and annoyances; but if we allow our minds to be one with our hearts, then we’ll start experiencing the relationship as one–i.e., whatever you do to make your partner happy makes you happy as well, and vice versa:

“In real love there is no relationship, because there are not two persons to be related to.  In real love there is only love, a flowering, a fragrance, a melting, a merging.  Only in egoistic love are there two persons, the lover and the loved.  And whenever there is the lover and the loved, love disappears.  Whenever there is love, the lover and the beloved both disappear into love.”  ~ Osho.
