Osho:
“People go from one guru to another, from one teacher to another, from one temple to another—not because they are great seekers, but because they are incapable of deciding. So they go from one thing to another. This is their way to avoid commitment.
The same happens in other human relationships: a man goes from one woman to another, constantly changing. People think he is a great lover; he is not a lover at all. He is escaping, he is trying to avoid any deep commitment, because only with deep involvement do problems have to be faced, and much pain will come with it. So, he simply plays it safe; he decides never to go too deep into his relationship with the other. If you go too deep, you may not be able to come back too easily. And if you go into someone really deep, that someone will also go deep into you; it is always proportionate…
Maturity comes only when you are ready to face the pain of your being; maturity comes only when you are ready to take the challenge. And there is no greater challenge than love. To live happily with another person is the greatest challenge in the world… The other becomes a mirror to you. You can see your ugliness in him. The other provokes your unconscious, brings it to the surface. You must know all the hidden parts of your being and the easiest way is that they be reflected in relationship.” — Osho
