“Love is a moment to moment process. Remember it.”
~ Osho
This morning’s sunrise was so pretty. I sat basking in the warm sun’s rays, soaking in all of her energy, as she rose above the horizon. I was filled with so much love. It reminded me of a beautiful message that Osho had sent out over Valentine’s Day. And it is with this, that I wish all of you a most love filled Sunday.

From his book, “Being Love”, Osho writes:
Being love …. A bit of a tall order when you think of the trouble love causes.
And loving with awareness and relating without fear sounds great, but where to start with it?
Love should be a reality in your life, not just a poem, not just a dream.
It has to be actualized.
Learn to love.
Very few people know how to love.
They all know that love is needed, they all know that without love life is meaningless,
but they don’t know how to love.
Well yes, that’s what I want, but I’m scared of getting hurt again …
Love is risky. To love is to move into danger because you cannot control it, it is not safe.
It is not within your hands. It is unpredictable: where it will lead nobody knows.
Whether it will lead anywhere, that too nobody knows.
And why is it so hard to find “the one”?
That idea too has been put into your mind that unless you find a perfect man or a perfect woman you will not be happy.
So you go on looking for the perfect, and you don’t find it, so you are unhappy.
“To flow and grow in love needs no perfection.”
Love makes no conditions, no ifs, no buts.
Love never says, ‘Fulfill these requirements, then I will love you.’
Love is like breathing: when it happens you are simply love.
It does not matter who comes close to you, the sinner or the saint.
Whosoever comes close to you starts feeling the vibe of love, is rejoiced.
Love is unconditional giving.
But only those who are capable of giving shall have.
The greatest poverty of all is the absence of love.
The man who has not developed the capacity to love lives in a private hell of his own.
A man who is filled with love is in heaven.
You can look at man as a wonderful and unique plant,
a plant that is capable of producing both nectar and poison.
If a man lives by hate he reaps a harvest of poison;
if he lives by love he gathers blossoms laden with nectar.
Be an Emperor
Giving love is the really beautiful experience,
because you are an emperor.
Getting love is a very small experience;
and it is the experience of a beggar.
Don’t be a beggar.
At least as far as love is concerned.
Be an emperor, because it is an inexhaustible quality in you.
Maybe so, but when yet another relationship ends in disaster I just shut down.
Relationship is a structure, and love is unstructured.
So love relates, certainly, but never becomes a relationship.
Love is a moment to moment process. Remember it.
Love is a state of your being, not a relationship.
There are loving people and there are unloving people.
Unloving people pretend to be loving through the relationship.
Loving people need not have any relationship.
Because relationships happen one day and disappear another day.
They are flowers; in the morning they bloom, by the evening they are gone.
Love is enough.
