Can true love hurt you?

Love is painful because love brings growth. Love demands, transforms and is painful because love gives you a new birth. Love brings your heart into relationship -- and when the heart is in relationship there is always pain. If you avoid the pain, you will miss all pleasures of life.

. Love is painful because love brings growth. Love demands, transforms and is painful because love gives you a new birth. Love brings your heart into relationship -- and when the heart is in relationship there is always pain. If you avoid the pain, you will miss all pleasures of life. With love you become human; you stand erect on earth. With love you are vertical.With love are problems. But with problems is growth -- the greater the problem, the greater the opportunity. More and more pain, too.That's why many people never love -- it is so painful. They never become vertical.Love never shatters you completely. It simply shatters you a little, a little bit. It shatters the crust of your ego, but the centre of the ego remains intact. Then there is a deeper pain, deeper than love, and that is of prayer -- it shatters you utterly. It is death. When you have learnt how to love, and you have learnt that the pain that love brings is a blessing in disguise, it is beautiful, then you become able and you take another step -- that step is prayer.All lovers feel a little miserable. They would like to disappear completely, but it is not possible in human relationships. Human relationship is limited. But one learns from it, that there is a possibility: if it can happen so much in a human relationship, how much more can happen in a relationship with the Divine?Love makes you ready to take the final jump, the quantum leap. That's what I call prayer, or you can call it meditation. You have to disappear for existence to be. Love is a training ground, a school, to learn first lessons -- of the beauty, of the blessing and benediction of disappearance; to learn that pain is blessed.So when you are in love, or when love arises, cooperate with it, don't try resisting. People come to a compromise. The basic problem that I have been looking at is that lovers by and by come to a compromise. The compromise is: You don't hurt me, I will not hurt you. That's what marriage is. Then people become settled. They become so afraid of pain that they say, "Don't hurt me and I will not hurt you." But then when pain disappears, love also disappears. They exist together.When you are in love, love hurts. It hurts terribly.But never resist, never create any barrier for pain. Allow it. And by and by you will see that it was a wrong interpretation. It is not really pain. It is just that something is going so deep in you that you interpret it like a pain. You don't know anything else. You are only aware of pain in your past life, in your past experience. Whenever something penetrates deep, you interpret it as pain.Don't use the word 'pain'. When love and love's arrow goes deep into your heart, close your eyes and don't use words -- just see what it is, and you will never see it is pain. You will see it is a benediction. You will be tremendously moved by it. You will feel joyous.Don't use words. When something new happens to you, always allow a deep look into it without any language.The Discipline Of Transcendence, Osho International Foundation. www.osho.com

Why is love so important?

But why is love so important? Scientific studies have shown that being in love causes our body to release feel-good hormones and neuro-chemicals that trigger specific, positive reactions. Levels of dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine increase when people are in love.

economictimes.indiatimes.com - Why is love so important? - The Economic Times

Looking at life from the other side. Mystic, magic, spiritual and the divine - a collection of the best mind reads. Professor Brand, played by Anne Hathaway in the sci-fi movie Interstellar, passionately urges Cooper, the pilot of the spaceship, played by Matthew McConaughey, to land on a particular planet because Edmund, the man she loves, was hibernating on that planet. The two protagonists are hurtling in space through a wormhole to find a planet suitable for human habitation.

Brand argues to a stupefied Cooper that love is a very strong emotion, and like gravity, it can be felt strongly. But why is love so important?

Scientific studies have shown that being in love causes our body to release feel-good hormones and neuro-chemicals that trigger specific, positive reactions.

Levels of dopamine, adrenaline and norepinephrine increase when people are in love.

Together, these chemicals are responsible for all the magic that we feel when we are in love. That’s perhaps why we refer often to the ‘chemistry’ of love. Unconditional love and compassion have many benefits. And they help in expansion of our consciousness from the ‘I, Me, Myself ’ obsession to the more expansive ‘We, Us and Ours’. If Brand sought to unite with her lover on another planet, Cooper too yearned to reunite with the daughter he ‘abandoned’ on earth. We love our children, relatives and friends, and want to be with them, and that makes our lives more meaningful. So, any attempt to save the planet or humanity needs to begin with that premise.
