Osho continues:
"The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.
"Women are entirely to blame for men's lies; they keep insisting on asking the most awkward questions.
"A thing is not necessarily true because a man dies for it.
"Klein's Law of Possibilities: Nothing is impossible for people who don't have to do it themselves.
"In this world there are only two tragedies: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.
"Middle age: Later than you think and sooner than you expect.
"Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternative.
"Percy's Law of Laziness: The world is divided into two sorts of people, those who are willing to work and those who are willing to let them.
"Karl Marx says, 'To do is to be do.'
"Albert Camus says, 'To be is to do.'
"And Frank Sinatra says, 'Do be do be do.'
"Love is a meditation and meditation blossoms in love. Of course when I use the word love I don't mean the love that ordinarily is understood by the word, I don't mean the biological infatuation – anyway it is not love. It is simply your chemistry, not you which feels attracted, and under the chemistry's illusion you think you are in love. But that kind of love every animal, every bird knows perfectly well.
"Only man seems to be deluded, and deluded so much that all the animals in the world except man have a certain season when they are infatuated – their season of reproduction, a very limited period in the year when biology overtakes them, makes them completely blind; forces them almost against their will. Have you seen two animals making love? And have you ever seen them smiling? They look so bored that how to get out of it seems to be the only problem that is troubling them.
"The whole year they look more relaxed, more at ease, more in tune with nature and with themselves, but when the reproduction season comes they all start looking sad, serious, saintly."

Osho,"Love and meditation are not two things; hence, the question itself does not arise.
Is it possible to experience love and meditation at the same time?
"Love is a meditation and meditation blossoms in love. Of course when I use the word love I don't mean the love that ordinarily is understood by the word, I don't mean the biological infatuation – anyway it is not love. It is simply your chemistry, not you which feels attracted, and under the chemistry's illusion you think you are in love. But that kind of love every animal, every bird knows perfectly well.
