âThe ordinary love pretends too much. The real love is nonpretentious; it simply is. The ordinary love becomes almost sickening, syrupy, drippy, what you call âlovey-dovey.â It is sickening, it is nauseating. The real love is a nourishment, it strengthens your soul. The ordinary love only feeds your egoânot the real you but the unreal you. The unreal always feeds the unreal, remember; and the real feeds the real. Become a servant of real loveâand that means becoming a servant of love in its ultimate purity. Give, share whatsoever you have, share and enjoy sharing. Donât do it as if it is a dutyâthen the whole joy is gone. And donât feel that you are obliging the other, never, not even for a single moment. Love never obliges. On the contrary, when somebody receives your love, you feel obliged. Love is thankful that it has been received. Love never waits to be rewarded, even to be thanked. If the thankfulness comes from the other side, love is always surprisedâit is a pleasant surprise, because there was no expectation. You cannot frustrate real love, because there is no expectation in the first place. And you cannot fulfill unreal love because it is so rooted in expectation that whatsoever is done always falls short. Its expectation is too great, nobody can fulfill it. So the unreal love always brings frustration, and the real love always brings fulfillment. And when I say, âBecome a servant of love,â I am not saying to become a servant of somebody whom you love, no, not at all. I am not saying to become a servant of a lover. I am saying become a servant of love. The pure idea of love should be worshipped. Your lover is only one of the forms of that pure idea, and the whole existence contains nothing but millions of forms of that pure idea.â -OSHO â¤ď¸ #sharingthelove #love #lovequotes #lover #loveprose #infj #infp #infjlove #oshoquotes #osho #writerslife #writersnetwork #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writinginspiration #labels #titles #reallove #unreallove #real #unreal #loveydovey #followyourheart #followpassion #staytrue #staytruetoyourself #writing #words #blogger #vidamourmortem (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-yClQ1FL8z/?igshid=zrcj0liaw3nm
