According to Osho, relationships between Indian men and Western women fail for the same reason most love affairs fail: we mistake love for the destination rather than the door. Love offers brief ego-dissolving ecstasy, then built‑in frustration. Clinging or avoiding breeds neurosis. Its purpose is to move us beyond the threshold—transcending love into prayer, union with the whole—rather than building a home at the door.
They don’t fail because of East or West, but because we try to live on a bridge meant only to be crossed.
