more of the same, i know, but...

"A person who is centered in his aloneness, complete in himself...only that person can make friends because now it is no longer a need, it is just sharing...
And when you share, there is no question of clinging. You flow with existence, you flow with life's change, because it doesn't matter with whom you share...it is simply out of your fullness that you want to give...And giving is such a joy...sharing makes you more centered, more integrated, more proud - but not more egotistic...it is not ego; it is a totally different phenomenon, a recognition that existence has allowed you something for which millions of people are trying but at the wrong door. You happen to be at the right door...
You are proud of your blissfulness and all that existence has given you. Fear disappears, darkness disappears, the pain disappears...You can love a person, and if the person loves somebody else there will not be any jealousy, because you loved out of so much joy. It was not a clinging, you were not holding the other person in prison. You were not worried that the other person may slip out of your hands, that somebody else may start having a love affair. When you are sharing your joy, you don't create a prison for anybody. You simply give. You don't even expect gratitude or thankfulness because you are not giving to get anything, not even gratitude. You are giving because you are so full you have to give....

...If you really love the person you will give him or her absolute freedom - that's a gift of love. And when there is freedom, love responds tremendously. When you give freedom to somebody you have given the greatest gift, and love comes rushing towards you...

Love is a basic need, as basic as freedom, so both have to be fulfilled. And a person who is full of love AND free is the most beautiful phenomenon in the world. And when two persons of such beauty meet, their relationship is not a relationship at all. It is a relating. It is a constant, riverlike flow. It is continuously growing towards greater heights.
The ultimate height of love and freedom is the experience of the divine. In it you will find both tremendous love, absolute love, and absolute freedom."
