Book: Love. Freedom. Loneliness

Love knows no bounds. Love cannot be jealous, because love can not own. You someone own - it means you killed someone and turned it into a property.

When you have happiness, you can share it; when you don't have one you can share? Before something to share, you need to have it.

You can't love less, cannot love more - because it's not a number. It is a quality that is immeasurable.

Love is not something that you can limit. You can hold it in open hands, but not in the fist. In that instant, as your fingers clenched in a fist, they are empty. At that moment, as your hand opened, you have access to everything existence.

I lived with many people in many places. I was surprised - why are people so worried about creating problems for others? If someone is not married, they worry, "Why don't you get married?" as if marriage is some universal law that should be followed. Exhausted all and every person begins to think that it is better to marry - at least all these people will cease to torment him. But this is a mistake: once you get married, they start asking: "When's the baby?"

What we do in schools? Schools, in fact, are not so much a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge as a tool of control. The child spends six or seven hours. This is necessary in order to pacify his dance, his song, his joy; this is required in order to control it. Being locked up for six or seven hours almost daily in the prison environment, the energy of the child is extinguished. He becomes depressed, as if frozen. Energy no longer flows, does not swing, a child's life is minimized - and this is what we call restraint. He never lives life to the fullest.

Be yourself, learn to be alone and all. And remember: a man who knows how to be one, never suffers from loneliness. People who do not know how to be alone, always lonely.

The moment - that is the most important.

In fact, the only person who is able to be the one capable of love. For the lonely people cannot love. They need so much that they cling, how they can love? For the lonely people cannot love, they can only exploit. The lonely people, pretending to love; deep down inside they want to love. They don't want to give, they have nothing to give. The only person who knows how to be single and stay happy, so full of love that it can share. He can share it with strangers.

The first thing you need to realize that whether you like it or not, you are one. Loneliness itself is your nature. You can try to forget him, can you try not to be alone, finding friends, finding lovers, mingling with the crowd... But whatever you do, it will remain on the surface. Deep inside, your loneliness is not concerned, it remains unaffected.

If you are tied to a man in love with you? Or are you afraid of loneliness and so cling? Because you can't be one, you use this man to not be alone. Then you're afraid. If that person moves somewhere else or falls in love with someone else, you'll kill this man and say, "I was so attached." Or you can kill yourself and say, "I was so tied that they could no longer without it - or without it - live."
This is sheer stupidity. That's not love, it's something else. You are afraid of your loneliness, you're still not able to be with yourself, you need someone to distract you. And you want to own the other person, you want to use another person as a means to achieve their goals.

If the love is real, it will never be affection. What is the mechanism of how love becomes attachment? In the moment when you tell a lover or beloved: "Love only me", you begin to own them. And in the moment when you begin someone to own, you deeply insult him, because turn it into a thing.

The child is not a thing, not a chair, not a machine. You can't do with it what you want. It comes from you, but you don't belong. He belongs to existence. You most care about him; don't become its owner.

No one relationship can not reach the level at which no problem. If you see a relationship in which there are no problems, this means that relationship is no more.
