What is the perspective on marriage from a wise person's viewpoint?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Wisdom dissolves the urge for marriage, yet many find that very wisdom through the experience of it; follow your own understanding and never imitate borrowed conclusions."
According to Osho, a truly wise person does not marry because wisdom has already dissolved the urge and seen the world’s futility. Yet most people gain that very wisdom through marriage itself. So follow your own understanding: if the pull exists, marry and learn; if clear insight has ended the desire, remain unmarried—never imitate borrowed conclusions.
Wise people don’t need marriage, but most of us learn wisdom by going through it—so act from your own inner sense, not from copying others.
