Without freedom, love dies


Q: Is it possible to be married and to be free at the same time?

結婚しながら、自由でいることは可能ですか？
Ans: by Osho 　以下、和尚のメッセージ

＊以下、「自由がなければ、愛は死ぬ 1」に続く、メッセージ・・・


In fact, marriage is an out-of-date institution.

In the first place, to live in any institution is not good.
Any institution is destructive.

Marriage has destroyed almost all possibilities of happiness
for millions of people　－ and all for useless things.

In the first place, marriage － the very ritual of marriage － is bogus.

If you take marriage non-seriously, then you can be free.
If you take it seriously, then freedom is impossible.

Take marriage just as a game － it is a game.
Have a little sense of humor,
that is a role you are playing on the stage of life;

but it is not something
that belongs to existence or has any reality －
it is a fiction.

But people are so stupid that
they even start taking fiction for reality.

I have seen people reading fiction with tears in their eyes,
because in the fiction, things are going so tragically.

It is a very good device in the movies that they put the lights off
so everybody can enjoy the movie, laugh, cry, be sad, be happy.

If there was light, it would be a little difficult －what will others think?
And they know perfectly well that the screen is empty, there is nobody;
it is just a projected picture.

But they forget it completely.
And the same has happend with our lives.

Many things which are simply to be taken humorously,
we take so seriously －
and from that seriousness begins our problems.
