SILVIA, HERE FOREVER, WITH HIS THREE CHILDREN -- CAPUCINE, NINE, AND HER TWIN SONS, THIBAULT AND JEREMY, SEVEN.
CAPUCINE: LOVE FLOWER.
OSHO: Love is a flower, and the most beautiful of all. It is invisible because it grows in the heart, but its fragrance is felt even from the outside. It opens in the heart but its fragrance goes on spreading; it reaches to other people too. And it has so much fragrance that it can fill the whole of existence. Whenever there is a man like Jesus or Buddha whose heart has become a flower of love, the whole existence is blessed.
(TO THIBAULT): Cowards cannot love; only the courageous can love, because love needs surrender, love needs the dropping of the ego. When you can forget yourself totally, then only does love arise. The coward lives in fear, in constant fear of death, and the basic requirement of love is death of the ego. Hence love needs courage. The flower of love can open up only in the soil of courage.
(TO JEREMY): We can forget him, we can keep him behind us, but he is bound to possess us sooner or later. One can escape from God for the time being but he is bound to take over because it is not only that we are searching for God, God is also searching for us.
We are lost children of God, and just as the mother will go in search of the child who has been lost in the marketplace, God goes on coming into the world. Just as the shepherd goes to search for the sheep which is lost, God goes on coming into the world, sometimes as Jesus, sometimes as Buddha.
Love is the base if you want to be sought by God, if you want to be possessed by him. If you want him to become a guest in your heart then you have to create the space called love. Love is the greatest space -- it is the whole sky. In love you become vast, unbounded, and God can enter you only when you are vast and unbounded.
OSHO (TO FRANK): Bliss cannot exist without freedom, neither can freedom exist without bliss. They support each other, they nourish each other.
A sannyasin has to be aware of this because there are people who seek
