OSHO ON RECEIVING

This has been my observation:
It is difficult for people to love,
but there is one thing
which is even more difficult
than to love,
and that is to receive love.
Receiving love 
is more difficult than giving love.
And one has to learn both-
to give and to receive.
And to receive 
is going to transform you more
than giving can do,
because in receiving love
your ego starts disappearing.
Don't become a miser in receiving.
When bliss comes to you
it is like a flood.
Hence Buddha says:
Do not turn away
what is given to you.
Because if you turn away
you will miss the opportunity,
and it may not knock on your door 
again for a long time.
One never knows
when the moment will come again.
So whenever something 
is given to you,
open up your heart.
Even if you are afraid of the unknown,
still go into the unknown.


Osho
