WHEN LOVE AND HATE ARE BOTH ABSENT... Love and hate both give color to your eyes and then you cannot see clearly. If you love a person, you start seeing things which are not there. No woman is as beautiful as you think when you love her,because you project. You have a dream girl in the mind and that dream girl is projected. Somehow the real girl functions only as a screen. That’s why every love comes to a frustrating point sooner or later, because how can the girl go on playing the screen? She is a real person; she will assert, she will say, ”I am not a screen!” How long can she go on fitting in with your projection? Sooner or later you feel they don’t fit. In the beginning she yielded, in the beginning you yielded. You were a projection screen for her, she was a projection screen for you. Nobody can play a screen for you forever because it is uncomfortable. How can somebody adjust to your dreams He has his own reality, and the reality asserts. If you love a person, you project things which are not there. If you hate a person, again you project things which are not there. In love the person becomes a god. In hate the person becomes a devil– and the person is neither god nor devil. The person is simply himself or herself. These devils and gods are projections. If you love, you cannot see clearly. If you hate, you cannot see clearly. When there is no liking, no disliking, your eyes are clear, you have a clarity. Then you see the other as he is or as she is. And when you have a clarity of consciousness the whole existence reveals its reality to you. That reality is God, that reality is truth.What does it mean? A man like Sosan will not love? His love will have a totally different quality; it will not be like yours. He will love, but his love will not be a choice. He will love, but his love will not be a projection. He will love, but his love will not be a love for his own dream. He will love the real. That love towards the real is compassion. He will not project this way or that. He will not see a god in you or a devil. He will simply see you and he will share because he has enough – and the more you share, the more it grows. He will share his ecstasy with you. When YOU love, you project. You love, not to give – you love to take, you love to exploit. When You love a person you start trying to fix the person according to you, according to your ideas. Every husband is doing that, every wife is doing that, every friend. They go on trying to change the other,the real, and the real cannot be changed – you will only get frustrated. The real cannot be changed, only your dream will be shattered and then you feel hurt. You don’t listen to reality. Nobody is here to fulfill your dream. Everybody is here to fulfill his own destiny, his own reality OshO ❤️ Hsin Hsin Ming: The Book of Nothing
