The Highest Love

The Highest Love

“A relationship is a lower state.  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 its fragrance whether anybody comes or not, whether anybody appreciates it or not.  The flower does not start releasing its fragrance when it sees that a great poet is passing by: “Now this man will appreciate, now this man will be able to understand who I am.”  And it does not close its doors when it sees that a stupid, idiotic person is passing there – insensitive, dull – a politician or something like that.  It does not close itself: “What is the point? Why cast pearls before the swine?”  No, the flower goes on spreading its fragrance.  It is a state, not a relationship.” – Osho “I say unto you” pg. 57

In the highest state of love, you become love.  You treat any and all with great love, it transcends physical intimacy.  Physical intimacy is very limited, you cannot express physical love to all, but as far as your state of being, the way you treat others, the way you treat yourself, the way you treat the environment and your surroundings, love can be your state of being.  Through your body movements, through something like dance, you can express your love, and this is unlimited.  The expression of your love through your smile, is unlimited.  Your expression of love is not for other people, it is just naturally who you are. – SFL June 1 2015
