Rajneesh Quotes

‎Drop the idea that attachment and love are one thing. They are enemies. It is attachment that destroys all love. If you feed, if you nourish attachment, love will be destroyed; If you feed and nourish love, attachment will fall away by itself. They are not one; they are two separate entities, and antagonistic to each other.

Love without attachment is light.

If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

Attachment is your biggest strength and your biggest weakness. Though it gives you the power to love someone more than yourself, it becomes difficult to live when you lose something you are attached to. Even when we have lost, we should go beyond that and get truly attached to someone. Loving someone truly is the most beautiful feeling.

Love is an incredible thing but we don't know love like we should. Unconditional love we don't know it because if a person stops stimulating us, we stop loving them.

When Patanjali says "non-attachment", he is not anti-love. Really, he is for love. Non-attachment means be natural, loving, flowing, but don't get obsessed and addicted. Addiction is the problem. Then it is like a disease. You cannot love anybody except your child - this is addiction. Then you will be in misery. Your child can die; then there is no possibility for your love to flow. Even if your child is not going to die, he will grow. And the more he grows, the more he will become independent. And then there will be pain. Every mother suffers, every father suffers.

Love is not about owning someone, but about loving them.

Let not your love become attachment, nor your hate become destruction.

Suffering occurs when we want other people to love us in the way we imagine we want to be loved, and not in the way that love should manifest itself--free and untrammeled, guiding us with its force and driving us on.

If you loved someone, really loved them, would you let them go?

I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates. Love liberates. It doesn't just hold - that's ego. Love liberates. It doesn't bind. Love says, 'I love you. I love you if you're in China. I love you if you're across town. I love you if you're in Harlem. I love you. I would like to be near you. I'd like to have your arms around me. I'd like to hear your voice in my ear. But that's not possible now, so I love you. Go.'

When you love someone so much that you are in pain when you are apart it ends up being destructive. I never want to be in that place again.

I find all that slightly destructive but mad love alluring.

That saying, about how you always kill the thing you love, well, it works both ways.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

I love you the more in that I believe you had liked me for my own sake and for nothing else.

When love is at its best, one loves so much that he cannot forget.

If you love something let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it comes back, love it forever.

I have had big relationships. Three times in my life I have felt a special connection, but people talk about looking for love as if it's just like walking into a Starbucks and buying a coffee when you feel like it. It's rare, that special connection.

Man's love is of man's life a part; it is a woman's whole existence. In her first passion, a woman loves her lover, in all the others all she loves is love.

I know, being a father myself, what my interpretation of true love is, or the essence of love, and you can apply it to other things besides human beings.

You can't force people to love you. If you love somebody, you love them because you love them. People who love you, it doesn't matter; if you're good or bad, they will still love you.

Real love is unconditional.

Because love was not the answer to every question. Because real love meant sacrifice. Sometimes love means letting go.

I do love you and what else matters but that
