Few of my fav passages from the book: :
- "It is beautiful to be alone, it is also beautiful to to be in love, to be with people. And they are complementary, not contradictory."
- "...you can only enjoy aloneness ONLY if you can enjoy relationships. It is relationship that creates the need for aloneness, it is a rhythm."
- "A person who knows how to be alone is never lonely. People who don't know how to alone, they are lonely."
- "Great music is a sythesis between sound and silence." (like love and aloneness)
- "Love gives freedom and love helps the other to be himself or herself."
Quite a few gems are this book. However when Osho talks about how to apply his message worldwide (i.e. communes), I have to politely disagree. I understand his view, but not enough to adopt it. I'll simply have to agree w/most of Osho's readers by saying take what you like, ponder what you don't understand and trash the rest when reading his take on life.
Definitely worth the read.
