Wanting Is Thinking


Wanting is thinking. As long as you want to do anything—"I want to understand myself," "I want to be free from this movement of thought"—it is thinking. You need thinking just to function in this world, but other than that, anything you want is thinking. You get the material for thinking always from somebody. Otherwise, there is no thinking.

Love is also thinking. "I love my wife," "I love my house," "I love my bank account"—all that is thinking. That is why I say that it is destructive. If there is any such thing as love, there is no thinking, no relationship. What you call love is just a vibration. If it is not reciprocated, it turns itself into either apathy or hatred.
