For lives you built a home, you built a family, and then you lost it – and all through that you have always remained alone. Not even slightly has your aloneness been ever affected.

To avoid loneliness, he creates all kinds of relationships, friendships, organizations, political parties, religions and what not. But the basic thing is that he is very much afraid of being lonely. Loneliness is a black hole, a darkness, a frightening negative state almost like death … as if you are being swallowed by death itself. To avoid it, you run out and fall into anybody, just to hold somebody’s hand, to feel that you are not lonely… Nothing hurts more than loneliness. But the trouble is, any relationship that arises out of the fear of being lonely is not going to be a blissful experience, because the other is also joining you out of fear. You both call it love. You are both deceiving yourself and the other. It is simply fear, and fear can never be the source of love. Only those who love are absolutely fearless; only those who love are able to be alone, joyously, whose need for the other has disappeared, who are sufficient unto themselves… The day you decide that all these efforts are failures, that your loneliness has remained untouched by all your efforts, that is a great moment of understanding. Then only one thing remains: to see whether loneliness is such a thing that you should be afraid of, or if it is just your nature. Then rather than running out and away, you close your eyes and go in. Suddenly the night is over, and a new dawn … The loneliness transforms into aloneness. Aloneness is your nature. You were born alone, you will die alone. And you are living alone without understanding it, without being fully aware of it. You misunderstand aloneness as loneliness; it is simply a misunderstanding. You are sufficient unto yourself.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Osho" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/osho/man-ordinarily-lives-in-loneliness-to-avoid-loneliness-he-creates-all/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bcd/osho-519_black-hole_man-ordinarily-lives-in-loneliness-to-av_1286937.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bcd/osho-519_black-hole_man-ordinarily-lives-in-loneliness-to-av_1286937.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/bcd/osho-519_black-hole_man-ordinarily-lives-in-loneliness-to-av_1286937.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Man ordinarily lives in loneliness.

And that is the goal, the target, for you. Start making as many contacts with existence as possible, wherever possible. Sitting by a tree, hug the tree and feel that you are meeting and merging with the tree; let there be a union of energies. Swimming in water, close your eyes and feel you are melting into water; let there be a union. And so on and so forth. Find out ways and means wherever you can relax and unite with something. The more you unite your energy with some other energy, in any form - a cat, a dog, a man, a woman, a tree - the closer home you will be. This is going to be your work; and it is pleasant work, it is ecstatic work. Once you have come to feel it, once you have come to know the knack of it, you will be surprised at how much you have missed in your life. Each tree that you have passed could have given you a great orgasm, and each experience - a sunset, a sunrise, the moon, the clouds in the sky, the grass on the earth - all those things could have become great ecstatic experiences again and again. Lying down on the lawn, feel you are becoming one with the earth. Melt into the earth, disappear into it; let the earth penetrate you. This is your meditation: attain to yoga, to union, through as many ways as possible. That's why sometimes it happens that lovers come to know of meditation in deep orgasm. That is one of the ways of creating union, but that is only one of the ways; there are millions. If one goes on searching there is no end to it.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Osho" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/osho/prem-means-love-yoga-means-union-love-union-and-that-is-the-goal-the/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/osho-519_art-making_prem-means-love-yoga-means-union-love-un_3115042.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/osho-519_art-making_prem-means-love-yoga-means-union-love-un_3115042.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5cf/osho-519_art-making_prem-means-love-yoga-means-union-love-un_3115042.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Prem means love, yoga means union - love union.
