“Love exists only when there is total acceptance and no desire to change anything.
The moment you start thinking of how the other should be…
whether the other is your lover, your beloved, your child, your master, your disciple… it does not matter who the other is. What matters is a total acceptance of the other as he/she is.
Not tolerance — tolerance is an ugly word. In the very word ‘tolerance’ there is intolerance. The very word smells as if somehow against your will you are managing it: it is not a loving acceptance but an unloving tolerance.”
“The Rajneesh Upanishad,” by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, page 664.
