Question :

YESTERDAY YOU MENTIONED THAT LAW IS ANTI-LOVE, BUT THAT WITHOUT IT LOVE CANNOT EXIST AND GROW. PLEASE EXPLAIN IN WHICH WAY LAW IS NEEDED FOR LOVE TO GROW.
 
For every growth the opposite is needed because the opposite creates the tension. Without the opposite, things relax into death. This is one of the most fundamental things in life. 

Love cannot exist without the law; the law is the opposite. The law is the non-spontaneous, the mechanical; love is the spontaneous, the non-mechanical. Love is uncaused; law is within cause and effect. Love is individual; law is social. Can you exist without the society? Without the society you will not be born. You need a mother, a father, you need a family to grow in, and you need a society to thrive in. Without a society you cannot exist. 

But remember, if you just become a part of society, you have already moved into non-existence again. Without the society you cannot exist, and you cannot exist just as a member of the society either. Jesus says, "Man cannot live by bread alone." Do you think it means you can live without bread? Man cannot live by bread alone -- true, absolutely true -- but can man live without bread? No, that too is not possible. Man needs bread. It is necessary, but not enough. It simply gives you a base, but it doesn't give you a jump, a flight. It is a jumping board. Don't get stuck at that.

Osho : Third Eye

OSHO ON THE THIRD EYE. OSHO: With the third eye you become capable of seeing things which are there, but which cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. All the methods about looking affect the third eye, because looking means a certain energy moving outward from you toward the world. If blocked, if suddenly blocked, the energy will find another path, and the third eye is just near. In Tibet there were even surgical operations for the third eye. Sometimes it happens that your third eye is blocked because you have not used it for millennia. If the third eye is blocked and you stop your eyes, you will feel a certain uneasiness because the energy is there and there is no path where to move. In Tibet they devised certain operations to have the passage cleared. This can be done. And if it is not done, then many things can happen. Just two or three days before, one sannyasin – she is here – came to me. She said, “There is a very hot sensation at the third eye.” And not only was there the sensation,...

Osho : Hugging is the way of the heart.

H U G G I N G Hugging is the way of the heart. Man needs to be needed. It is one of the most fundamental needs of human beings. Unless one is cared for one starts dying. Unless one feels that he is significant to somebody, at least to somebody, his whole life becomes insignificant. Hence Love is the greatest therapy there is. The world needs therapy because the world is missing Love. In a really Loving World no therapy will be needed at all; Love will be enough, more than enough. Hugging is only a gesture of Love, of Warmth, of Caring. The very feel of the warmth flowing from the other person melts many illnesses in you, melts the ice-like, cold ego. It makes you again a child. Osho Book:  The Wild Geese and the Water, Ch 4, Q 1

Osho : The pain comes because you are desiring something which is not possible...

The pain comes because you are desiring something which is not possible... It doesn’t come from life, it comes from your expectations...!! Life is very shocking, that’s why life is painful! Pain is like fire... It melts the gold, but it purifies it... !! Whatsoever accidental will be burned in it... but whatsoever is essential will come out of purer.. The very darkness will become light and dawn.. ! Osho
