Flowers of Love

"Dear Krishna Karuna,

Love. There is no power greater than faith in one's own self. The fragrance of self-confidence is something not of this world.

Peace, Bliss, Truth - all these follow this fragrance. He who has confidence in himself is in heaven.

And he who has no confidence in himself holds the key to hell in his own hands." (Osho, letter # 100)

translated from

Hindi: Prem Ke Phool (प्रेम के फूल)

Translated by Dolly Diddee
