Love: A Natural Kind of Meditation

Love can help you to become a meditator

How can people turn the human phenomenon
of falling in love into a meditation?

"It is the easiest way. In human life, love is the closest phenomenon to meditation. The moment you fall in love with someone, what actually happens? What transpires between those two who have fallen in love with each other?

They drop their egos - at least for each other. They drop their hypocrisies, their masks. They want to be together, almost one soul within two bodies. That's the desire of love.

And this is a beautiful moment to change it into a meditation. Just nobody has ever told them. In fact, just the opposite has been told to them: that love is against meditation, so people who are falling in love can never become meditators.

Love helps to relax and be silent

The same people who make celibacy spiritual make love unspiritual, something dirty, condemned. But to me things are totally different. Love helps you to relax, which is part of meditation. Love helps you to be joyous, which is part of meditation. Love helps you, for a few moments at least, to be silent, which is the essential part of meditation. And finally, making love, if you attain to an orgasmic experience, gives you a glimpse of what meditation is, but it is millions of times more than this.

Love is a basic experience which can help you to become a meditator.

Love is a natural kind of meditation.

And meditation is a supernatural kind of love."

Osho, excerpted from The Last Testament, Vol. 2, Number 21

In this Osho quote it is described how easy meditation is when you are in love. Actually love is a natural state of meditation. Love is the closest phenomenon to meditation. The ego is dropped in love and this is the moment to move in meditation.
