"If life goes naturally, beautifully, if
there are no life-negative teachers, if there are no
politicians and priests to distract you – then nearabout the
age of forty-two, exactly as sexual maturity comes, comes
meditation maturity. Nearabout the age of forty-two, one
starts feeling to fall inwards. Near the age of fourteen,
one starts falling towards the other, becomes extrovert.
Love is extroversion; relationship is to think of the other.
Meditation is introversion; meditation is to think of one's
own self, of one's own center. "And the joy that comes through love is momentary. You can meet with the other only for moments, and then again you are separate and you fall apart. Just in the middle of it you fall apart. Just for a moment you become joined together. Then one starts thinking. "Is there a way to become one with existence and never to fall apart again?" That's what meditation is. Love is joining with existence through another person for only moments. Meditation is getting joined together with existence eternally. "Yoga" means to join together. "This has to happen
somewhere in the deepest core. And then there is joy and
then there is freedom. And then there is bliss and there is
no dark valley following it. Then happiness is eternal, then
celebration is eternal." Osho, The First Principle, Talk #4 To continue reading – and see all the available formats of this talk: click here
