"But within these two words, everything is included. Einstein had to make a new word, because to express it exactly it is not good to use two words – that gives a sense of duality. So he invented the technical word, spacio-time.

"I have also made my own word: nowhere – just one word, not even a hyphen between now and here."

Osho,
In a few words, could you comment on the word that I am going to give you? For example, what does love say to you?

"It means three things. Love can exist as just a physiological relationship – then we call it sex, and most people go on believing that that is love. It is only the beginning.

"The second thing that can be called love is something deeper, psychological – what poets talk about, what musicians sing about. It has nothing to do with sex, it is just a magnetic attraction between two persons. Something transpires between two persons – they suddenly feel as if they are made for each other. Something almost gives them the sense, 'Without the other I am half, incomplete; with the other I'm complete.' A sense of completion is the second quality; a sense of being entire, the whole circle.

"The first is very momentary, very superficial; the second is very deep, but needs great sensitivity. It is not available to everybody. The first is available to everybody: it is available even to animals, birds, trees, so there is nothing special in it as far as man is concerned. A man who has known love only as sex has remained below human dignity.

"Humanity begins with the second. Only a few poets, a few musicians, dancers, a few sculptors have sensed it. In the whole of history, very few people around the world have lived it because it needs tremendous courage to dissolve yourself with somebody else – a moment when the other is no longer the other, a moment when you can feel a tremendous at-one-ment.

"It happened in Ramakrishna's life: he was a man of immense sensitivity. They were crossing the river Ganges in a boat, and just in the middle of the river he started shouting, 'Don't beat me! Don't beat me!' The people who were around him were all his disciples, and nobody was beating him."
