According to Osho, melting with a beloved brings at best a brief, peripheral quiet—mostly physical, with the mind still chattering and the being uninvolved. Melting alone (after learning through love and the master) dissolves the ego into existence itself: an effortless, centerless, ever-present silence—‘soundless music,’ a living, garden-like stillness rather than graveyard hush.
With a lover, the quiet is shallow and short; when you truly melt alone into all-that-is, the quiet is deep, alive, and continuous.
