BE ALONE

Inspired by the words of Baghwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho)

Alone is what we are --
And there is a knack to it.
Learn the art of being alone.
Unless you learn the art of being alone
You will never stand alone;
You will never be individual.

Being individual is a "valuable phenomenon",
But is not encouraged.
Governments, religions and families are against the individual.
The "black sheep" is a threat to their dominance --
Being individual is the greatest privilege, 
and the greatest challenge.
Until you can be individual and alone with your self,
You will never truly be
With anyone else......

You crave relationship? Why?
Because you cannot be comfortably and completely alone?
That is the worst of all possible reasons.
To be in a successful relationship,
Aim to be alone -- together
It is a paradox -- 
Only when you are content to be al-one,
Are you ready for real-ationship.

 It has been said many times,
We came alone; we will depart alone.
Even our most intimate lover cannot come with us when we go inside.
Adventuring inwards, we go alone.
Always.
Our hurts, our joys
Are absolutely private.
