According to Osho, Bertrand Russell approached marriage not as a sacred, lifelong bond but as a rational contract for companionship and child‑rearing—grounded in freedom, equality, and the right to dissolve the tie when love or purpose fades. Osho appreciates Russell’s clarity yet says it remains intellectual, missing love’s transformative, meditative depth that turns relationship from social arrangement into living communion.
Russell, as Osho reads him, sees marriage as a practical partnership you can end when love is gone, not a forever holy promise.
