Duty -- one feels one has to do it. Duty is a dirty word, a four-letter word. Love, not duty. You enjoy and you love.
And enjoy the whole situation that has happened. Then someday you may feel grateful to your wife that she left and allowed you to become a mother; otherwise it would have been impossible. And not only in this case -- in every situation in life, always try to find a way how to use it for growth, how to become more yourself through it.
A man is half and a woman is half. When both become one, the perfect man is born. And the whole is beautiful because it has grace. The whole is beautiful because it is at home. The whole is beautiful because it lacks nothing. The whole is beautiful because all the opposites have come to an inner reconciliation, a synthesis, a harmony. Then man is not a crowd but a crystallised being. Then all the noises inside have fallen into an orchestra.
And once you know how, you can slip from man into woman, because the inner soul is neither -- or both.
So drop the word duty, and forget all about responsibility. Love is enough.
And meditate deeply -- that will make you strong enough to face this situation and to grow out of it, mm?
(to a new sannyasin) Forget the old name, mm? Just by dropping the old name, many things drop automatically. The moment you can think in a new language, the past drops as if it never belonged to you.
And every moment the past becomes a burden. One needs to be unburdened again and again and again. It is just as rubbish goes on accumulating in the house; one has to throw it out every day. The same happens in the mind.
So this will be your new name: Ma Deva Pujan. Pujan means worship, deva means divine - divine worship, or worship of the divine.
[Pujan said that as she had heard of Osho through her husband, from whom she was estranged, she felt some resistance.]
It happens every day.... Because he has hurt you much, it is natural not to trust. And because he is my sannyasin, automatically one starts thinking about me also through him. But you can be directly related to me. [Your husband] need not be in between you and me. And always remember
