Revealing the truth of self

'When you love, you project.  You love not to give; you love to take, you love to exploit.  When you love a person, you love to exploit.  When you love a person, you start trying to fix this 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.'




 on the perfected silent types...
'A man like Sosan loves, but his love is not an exploitation, his love has a different quality to it, he will love but it will not be like yours.  He will love but it will not be a choice, or a projection, or a love of his own dream.  His love will be real. He loves because he has got too much, he is an overflowing. He is not creating a dream around anybody.  He shares with whomsoever comes on his path. His sharing is unconditional, and he does not expect a thing from you.  If love expects then there will be frustration.  If love expects then there will be unfulfillment, misery and madness.'
