Existence is wiser than you
Existence is wiser than you.
It takes things away from you before they lose all significance for you.
And it is good that beautiful things should happen and then there should be a gap, a rest.
One needs rest from love too.
One needs rest from ecstasy too. One needs rest from everything.
Don’t take that rest as against your ecstasy, it is really in favor of it.
It creates the background that tomorrow again you will be able...
One of the great poets of India, Rabindranath Tagore, has written a book.
THE LAST POEM is the name of the book, but it is not a book of poetry; it is a novel.
The hero and heroine are in deep love,they want to get married, but the uniqueness of it is that the heroine has agreed to marry him onlyon one condition: that they will not live in the same house.
They are very rich people and the woman suggests, ”You can make a house on the other side of the lake.
We will not invite each other; we will be meeting accidentally.
Once in a while I may be boating, you may be boating; or I may be walking around the lake or you may be walking, but I want it to be accidental – and once in a while, not every day.
I want to long for it, I want to wait for it, and I don’t want to destroy it by having too much of it.
I love you.
”The man cannot understand.
He says, ”This is nonsense. If you love me... what you are suggesting, no lover has ever suggested.
Lovers don’t want to be separate even for a single moment.
And what kind of love is this? – that I will be living far away on the other side of the lake.
