爱是通往神性之门
那是唯一的道路
使人与终极相连
在你知道爱是什么之前
你必须经过很多道净化
因为通常人们所知道的爱
并不是爱
有很多杂质掺杂其间
有很多污染
它并不纯净
也许1%是爱
但99%都是杂质
而那99%就是操控
压倒性控制、重压
那1%已经被99%彻底碾压
人必须放弃那99%
你的爱里有太多嫉妒
嫉妒就是毒药
你的爱里有太多占有
占有是毁灭性的
爱是非常纤弱的一朵花
占有意味着
往一朵花上面扔石头
有一种深深的渴望要掌控他人
这是非常无意识的
但它是存在的
而且强而有力
那么爱就会变成一纸苍白
慢慢隐去
这只是一场小我之旅
爱上你的人也是一样
所以才会有争吵
才会有争斗
这对彼此都是毁灭性的
经历过几次爱情事件
人会变得虚弱，疲惫
他会开始感觉
爱是生活中最鸡肋的东西
他感觉连手指都被烧成了灰烬
他开始逃避爱
那就是发生在西方的状况
人们在纯欲的问题上走的更远
避开爱
因为至少纯粹的性没有那么多麻烦
它很简单
当然它无法带你抵达高处
你所谓的爱也无法带你抵达高处
相反，那所谓的爱
会带你下地狱
性也不会将你置于如此之地狱
性不会使你下地狱
它只会给你带来健康
那是生理卫生，健康，正常
它使你成为一只健康的动物
仅此而已
过去一直是这样的
每当一个社会允许自由恋爱
人们就会变得对爱疲惫
因为以爱之名
发生那么多丑陋的事
人们开始倾向于纯欲
它似乎更方便，更舒适
没有冒险
很容易就能买到
它是可以买卖的
爱不能买卖
它不是商品
性是商品
它是物质世界的一部分
要么是这样
要么是社会开始压制爱
将婚姻强加在人们身上
这样他们就会和一个人死磕到底
但那也不是为了爱
而是另有原因
传宗接代，生儿育女
这样他们就会照看你的财产
当你不在了
他们会继续延续你的姓氏
爱不再作为考虑
由于人们变得如此害怕爱
所以他们考虑家庭，考虑财富
考虑文化、教育、尊贵和体面
以及所有这些事
他们占星、看手相
但完全不考虑爱
而是避开爱
他们将其它一切都纳入考量
除了爱——那就是包办婚姻
所以有两件事一再一再地在发生
每当恋爱是自由的
每当有更多的自由
社会就开始对爱疲惫
人们开始倾向于性
迟早他们也会对性疲惫
因为不满足
然后就又掉回旧有的模式
再次忘掉曾经的教训
决定进入婚姻
恶性循环就是这样形成的
印度已经经历过很多次这样的循环了
因为它是最古老的社会之一
很多次对爱自由
很多次对性自由
先是清教徒式的，压抑的
而后又反叛
同样的事一直在继续
而原因在于
基本的原因就在于没有人去探究
基本的原因不是爱
基本的原因是爱掺入了杂质
我们必须得学会放弃那些杂质
爱是美丽的
那是神赐予的最伟大的礼物
但它就像是一块璞玉
必须被抛光、切割、改良
就像一颗钻石
你要下很多工夫
才能看到它的美、它的壮丽
Love is the door to the divine.
It is the only way
To relate oneself to the ultimate.
But before you can know what love is
You have to go through many purifications
Because what is ordinarily known as love
Is not only love,
Many other things are mixed in it.
It is very much polluted, it is not pure.
Maybe one per cent of it is love
But ninety-nine per cent is something else.
And that ninety-nine per cent
Is dominating, overpowering, overwhelming.
The one per cent is crushed, destroyed
By that ninety-nine per cent.
One has to drop that ninety-nine per cent.
There is so much jealousy in your love
And jealousy is poison.
There is so much possessiveness in your love
And possessiveness is destructive.
Love is a very delicate flower
And to be possessive
Means throwing a rock on the flower.
There is a deep desire to dominate the other
It is very unconscious, but it is there
And it is very powerful.
Then love becomes just a facade and behind it
You are just on an ego trip.
So quarrel arises, fighting arises.
Both become destructive to each other.
After a few experiences of love affairs
One becomes weary, tired. One starts feeling
That love is the greatest nuisance in life.
One feels one's fingers are burnt
One starts avoiding it.
That's what is happening in the West.
People are going far more towards pure sex
And avoiding love, because at least pure sex
Does not have that much trouble, it is simple.
Of course it cannot take you to the heights
But neither does your so called love
Take you to the heights.
On the contrary
Your so-called love takes you to such hells.
Sex cannot take you to such hells either.
It simply keeps you healthy.
It is hygienic, healthy, normal.
It keeps you a fit animal, that's all.
It has always happened in the past also:
Whenever a society allows freedom for love
People become tired of love
Because in the name of love
So much ugliness starts happening that
People start leaning towards pure sex.
It seems more convenient, more comfortable
With no risk.
It can be purchased easily.
It is sellable, purchasable.
Love cannot be sold and cannot be purchased.
It is not a commodity.
Sex is a commodity
It is part of our materialistic world.
Either this happens or
Society becomes very repressive towards love
And forces marriage upon people
So that they stick to one person
And that too not for love but for other reasons:
For progeny, to give birth to children
So that they can take care of your properties
When you are no more
And they can carry your name down the ages.
Love is no more a consideration
Because people have become so afraid of it.
People think of the family, of richness
Of culture, of education, of nobility, aristocracy
And all kinds of things.
They consult astrologers and palmists
But they don't think of love at all
They avoid love.
They take everything else into consideration
Except love -- that's what an arranged marriage is.
So these two things happen again and again.
Whenever love is free
Whenever there is more freedom
Society becomes tired of love.
People start moving towards sex.
Then sooner or later they become tired of sex too
Because it is unfulfilling.
Then they fall back upon the old patterns.
Again they forget the old lessons
They decide to go into marriage.
This is how it moves in a vicious circle.
India has completed the circle many times
Because it is one of the most ancient societies.
Many times it has seen freedom of love
Many times it has seen freedom of sex.
Then a puritanical, repressive society
Then again a rebellion.
And the same thing goes on and on.
But the reason, the basic reason nobody looks for.
The basic reason is not love
The basic reason is that love
Is mixed with other things.
We have to learn to drop those other things.
Love is beautiful
Love is the greatest gift of god.
But it is like a raw phenomenon.
It has to be polished, refined, cut.
It is like a diamond:
Much has to be done before people can know
Its beauty and its splendour.吾同翻译
