No relationship can truly grow if you go on holding back. If you remain clever and go on safeguarding and protecting yourself, only personalities meet, and the essential centers remain alone. Then only your mask is related, not you. Whenever such a thing happens, there are four persons in the relationship, not two. Two false persons go on meeting, and the two real persons remain worlds apart.

About Osho

Osho [Hindi: ओशो] (11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990), born Chandra Mohan Jain [चन्द्र मोहन जैन], and also known as Acharya Rajneesh from the 1960s onwards, as Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh during the 1970s and 1980s and as Osho from 1989, was an Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher who inspired a controversial spiritual movement in India, the United States, the Netherlands, Germany, and many other countries. His syncretic teachings emphasise the importance of meditation, awareness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humour — qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialisation.

Additional quotes by Osho

When this space comes into your being, you go on giving to each and everybody — not only to human beings but to animals, to the trees, to the faraway stars, because love is something that can be transferred even to the farthest star just by your loving look. Just by your touch, love can be transferred to a tree. Without saying a single word . . . it can be conveyed in absolute silence. It need not be said, it declares itself. It has its own ways of reaching into the very depths, into your being. First be full of love, then the sharing happens.

المطلوب حركة تأمل كبيرة تشمل الجميع . يذهب المكتئبون الغربيون إلى محللين نفسانيين ,
معالجين وكل أنواع المشعوذين , الذين هم بدورهم أكثر كآبة من مرضاهم – لأنهم يستمعون طيلة الوقت إلى شكايات المكتئبين , اليائسين ,فاقدي معنى الحياة , وعندما يرون هذا الكم من الموهوبين المكتئبين , يبدؤون هم بدورهم يخسرون روحهم تدريجيا , يعجزون عن تقديم المساعدة , يصبحون بحاجه لمن يساعدهم.
