OSHO love and hate are two sides of the same coin

   

Osho, a contemporary mystic speaks on love and hate.

Love and hate are just two sides of the same coin. But with love something very drastic has happened. It is unimaginable how this drastic step was taken by people who had all the good intentions in the world. You may never have even suspected what has destroyed love. It is the continuous teaching of love that has destroyed it. Hate is still pure -- love is not. 

when you hate you hate has an authenticity and when you love it is only hypocrisy, this has to be understood.

For thousands of years all the religions, politicians have been teaching one thing - love. Love your enemy, love thy neighbour, love your parents, love God! Why did they start this strange teachings of love? they were afraid of your authentic love, because the authentic love is beyond your control... you are possesed by it. You are not the possesor, you are the possessed. And every society wants you to be in control. The society is afraid of your wild nature, its afraid of your naturalness, so from the very begining it starts cutting your wings. The most basic thing which is dangerous in you is the possibility of love because if you are possessed by love, you can go even against the whole world.
