For the love you receive to be real, the one who offers it to you must have a crystallized soul. And be able to be alone (OSHO)

One hot afternoon, Jesus stopped under a tree in a garden. It was very hot and he was tired, so he slept in the shadow of a tree. He did not even know to whom the house, the garden or the tree belonged. It was the garden of Magdalene, a very beautiful prostitute of those days.

Magdalene looked out the window and saw this beautiful person sleeping under the tree. She had never seen such a beautiful man. Just as there is a beauty of the body, there is a beauty of the soul. One can often see beauty of the body, but beauty of the soul is rarely seen. But when the beauty of the soul appears, even the ugliest body becomes the most beautiful flower. She had seen many beautiful people because there was always a crowd at her door – it was often difficult for her even to enter her own house. Magdalene was drawn to the tree as if pulled by some magnet.

 

Jesus was about to get up and leave; he had finished resting. Magdalene said, “Would you do me the favor of coming into my house to rest?”

 

Jesus said, “I have finished resting now, and it was your tree. Now it is time for me to leave. But if I happen to pass by here again and I am tired, then I will certainly rest in your house.”

Magdalene felt hurt. Great princes had been turned away from her door, and now when she was inviting a beggar from the streets to rest in her house, he refused. It hurt her feelings, so she said, “No, I am not going to listen to this. You must come inside – won’t you do even this much to show me your love? Won’t you come and rest in my house for a little while?”

 

Jesus said, “By your very invitation I have entered your house already, because except in the feelings of the heart, where else is your house? And if you ask, ‘Won’t you show me even this much love?’ then I will say to you that you may have seen many people who have said to you ‘I love you, but none of them loved you, because in their innermost core they were loving something else. And I can assure you that I am actually one of the few people who can love you and who does love you – because only one in whose heart love has arisen can love.”

 

None of you can love because within you there is no flow of love..

For the love you receive to be real, the one who offers it to you must have a crystallized soul. And be able to be alone
