According to Osho, Rahim calls marriage a ‘malady’ because it exposes our inner illness: dependence on the other, inability to rejoice in aloneness, and flight from inner emptiness (vyadhi). Marriage becomes nature’s grand delusion—two beggars hoping to be filled—so promised happiness never truly arrives, quarrels follow, and blame replaces responsibility; the real issue is inner poverty, not the partner.
When you can’t be happy alone and expect marriage to fix it, you stay sick inside—learn to be happy by yourself first.
