OSHO ON MARRIAGE – ABOLISH MARRIAGE — AND MAKE AMERICA A HEALTHIER PLACE

AMERICANS WILL LIVE HAPPIER, HEALTHIER AND LONGER LIVES WITHOUT MARRIAGE SAYS OSHO’S PHYSICIAN

The big fall in numbers of Americans getting married is a healthy sign because people will live longer, healthier and happier lives without the institution of marriage, according to Dr. Amrito, a British-born doctor who for many years was the personal physician of the enlightened mystic Osho.

Dr. Amrito was responding to a study just released by Rutgers University’s National Marriage Project which shows that more American couples are living together without getting married, resulting in a precipitous drop since 1960 in the number of couples who actually walk down the aisle.

“All his life, Osho has spoken against the institution of marriage and in favor of love,” explained Dr. Amrito. “And Osho makes an important point, which must be very attractive to a health-conscious society like the United States, that people will live longer and be healthier and happier if the institution of marriage is abolished.”

As an example, Dr. Amrito referred to the sudden return to form of US tennis star Andre Agassi since his divorce from Brooke Shields. “As soon as he married Brooke Shields, Agassi’s game started to fade and his ranking slumped from World No.1 to almost zero. He looked continuously miserable and depressed. As soon as they divorced, Agassi jumped right back into the top rankings. Clearly, his zest for life has returned with a bang!”

Dr. Amrito then quoted a discourse by Osho in which the mystic explains: The day marriage disappears, the life of both men and women will become healthier — and certainly longer than you can even imagine. You may not be able to see what the relationship is between long life and marriage. Because marriage is a kind of going against the changing life, it creates a permanent thing; both husband and wife become dull, bored — life loses interest. In fact, they have to destroy their interest, otherwise there is continuous conflict. The husband cannot take an interest in any other woman, the woman cannot laugh with another man. They become prisoners of each other; life becomes a boredom, a routine. Who wants to live such a life? The will to live becomes weakened. This brings sicknesses, diseases — because their resistance against death is not there. In fact, they start thinking how to finish this whole vicious circle sooner; they start asking deep down in their hearts for death. A will to death arises.
