HATE * If you love a person, in some moments you can hate him, but
that doesn't destroy love; rather, it gives a richness to love. -
Hate becomes part of love and then it enriches love; then anger
becomes part of compassion, and it enriches compassion. A compassion
without any possibility of anger will be impotent, it will have no
energy in it; a compassion with the possibility of anger, has
strength, stamina. A love without the possibility of hate, will
become stale, then marriage will look like an imprisonment, you
cannot go away, but a love with hate has a freedom in it - it never
becomes stale. - Every day divorce and remarry. It should be a
rhythm, just like day and night, hunger and satiety, summer and
winter, and life and death. It would be like that. In the morning
you love, in the afternoon you hate. When you love, you really love,
you love totally; when you hate, you really hate, you hate totally;
and suddenly you will find the beauty of it. The beauty is in
totality. A total hate is beautiful, as beautiful as total love; a
total anger is beautiful, as beautiful as total compassion. The
beauty is in totality. - If love is real, the hate will make it
stronger. After the storm a silence descends. After hate lovers are
again fresh to fall into each other - completely fresh as if they are
meeting for the first time again. Again and again they meet, again
and again for the first time. - Lovers are always meeting for the
first time. If you meet a second time, the love is already getting
old, stale. It is getting boring. Lovers always fall in love every
day, fresh, young; you look at your woman and you cannot even
recognize her, you haven't seen her before - so new. You look at your
man and he seems to be a stranger. You fall in love again. -
Hate does not destroy love, it only destroys the staleness of it.
It is a cleaning. If you understand it, you will be grateful to it;
and if you can be grateful to it, you have understood. Now nothing
can destroy your love; now you are for the first time really rooted;
now you can absorb the storm and can be strengthened through it,
can be enriched through it. ---
CHANGE * Misery arises because we don't allow change to happen; we
cling, we want things to be static. If you love a woman you want her
tomorrow too, the same way as she is yours today. That's how misery
arises. Nobody can be certain about the next moment. What to say
about tomorrow? - A man of awareness knows that life is constantly
changing. Life IS change. There is only one thing permanent and that
is change. Everything else except change changes. To accept the
nature of life, to accept this changing existence, with all its
seasons and moods, this constant flow which never stops for a single
moment, is to be blissful! Then nobody can disturb your bliss. It is
your hankering for permanency that creates trouble for you. You want
to live in a life with no change, and that is not possible. You are
asking the impossible ... A man of awareness becomes courageous
enough to accept the phenomenon of change. In that very acceptance
is bliss; then all is good, then you are never frustrated ---
