"If you desire a loving relationship, you must forget about all power politics.
You can only be a friend. Just as you shouldn't try to dominate the other, don't allow the other to dominate you. This is only possible if there is some meditative quality in your life. Otherwise, it is impossible.
As for love, it is the most difficult thing for a human being in the whole world, because the moment you express your love, others begin to resort to power pressure. They know that you are dependent on him or her. You can be enslaved – psychologically, spiritually – and no one wants to be a slave. Yet, all your human relationships turn into slavery.
Love needs clarity of vision.
Love needs to be cleansed of all the ugliness that is contained in your mind – jealousy, anger, the desire to dominate."
Osho
