The male mind, the
Berliner; the female mind, the Viennese. The female mind has a grace, the male
mind has efficiency. And of course, in the long run, if there is a constant
fight, the grace is bound to be defeated -- the efficient mind will win.
because the world understands the language of mathematics not of love. But the
moment your efficiency wins over your grace, you have lost something
tremendously valuable: you have lost contact with your own being. You may
become very efficient, but you will be no more a real person. You will become a
machine, a robot-like thing. Because of this here is constant conflict between
man and woman. They cannot remain separate, they have to get into relationship
again and again -- but they cannot remain together either. The fight is not
outside, the fight is within you. And this is my understanding: unless you have
resolved your inner fight between the right and the left hemispheres, you will
never be able to be peacefully in love -- never -- because the inner fight will
be reflected outside. If you are fighting inside and you are identified with
the left hemisphere, the reason hemisphere, and you are continuously trying to
overpower the right hemisphere, you will try to do the same with the woman you
fall in love with. If the woman is continuously fighting her own reason inside,
she will continuously fight the man she loves. All relationships -- almost all,
the exceptions are negligible, can be left out of account -- are ugly. In the
beginning they are beautiful; in the beginning you don't show the reality; in
the beginning you pretend. Once the relationship settles and you relax, your
inner conflict bubbles up and starts being mirrored in your relationship. Then
come fights, then come a thousand and one ways of nagging each other,
destroying each other. Hence the attraction for homosexuality. Whenever a
society becomes too divided between man and woman, homosexuality erupts
immediately. Because at least a man in love with a man is not that much in
conflict. The love relationship may not be very satisfying, may not lead to
tremendous bliss and orgasmic moments, but at least it is not so ugly as the
relationship between a man and a woman.
OSHO
Right now it will be
difficult for you to make an inner circle. It will be easier to connect it with
another pole -- a woman or a man -- and then the circle becomes complete. Then
you can enjoy the blessings of the circle. But by and by you will be able to
make the inner circle, because inside you also you are man and woman, woman and
man. Nobody is just man and nobody is just woman -- because you come from man
and woman's communion. Both have participated; your mother has given something
to you, you father has given something to you. Fifty-fifty, they have
contributed to you. Both are there. There is a possibility that both can meet
inside you. Again your father and mother can love inside you. Then your reality
will be born. Once they met when your body was born; now if they can meet
inside you, your soul will be born. That's what transcendence of sex is: it is
a higher sex. Let me tell you this: when you transcend sex, you reach to a
higher sex. Ordinary sex is gross, higher sex is not gross at all. Ordinary sex
is outward-moving, higher sex is inward-moving. In ordinary sex, two bodies
meet, and the meeting happens on the outside. In higher sex, your own inner
energies meet. It is not physical, it is spiritual -- it is Tantra. Tantra is
transcendence. If you don't understand this and you go on fighting with sex
...
OSHO
So if you are having
many relationships you will not be able to dive deep into the psyche of the
woman. And that is the only thing that is needed: to know your own inner
feminine part. Relationship becomes a mirror. The woman starts looking into you
and starts finding her own masculine part; the man looks into the woman and
starts discovering his own femininity. And the more you become aware of your
feminine -- the other pole -- the more whole you can be, the more integrated
you can be. When your inner man and your inner woman have disappeared into each
other, have become dissolved into each other, when they are no longer separate,
when they have become one integrated whole, you have become an
individual.
