Osho retells a Sumatran legend. “God created man and woman together, with joined bodies, so that each was a couple. But it became burdensome. If the husband wanted to go north, the wife was unwilling, so the bodies would have to be dragged together. Or vice versa! It was such a problem that God decided to divide them. But then they got lost in the wide world.' Sumatrans still believe that each one has a partner somewhere, and that people are forever seeking him or her.

Osho narrates a Christian story Adam was very alone and depressed. He asked God for a companion, so God created a woman. God asked Adam, “What will you call her?” Adam was ecstatic to have someone to talk, to love, to relate with! He said he'd call her ‘Eve’, ‘Eva’, ‘Havva’. “Why?”, asked God. Adam said, 'Because that means life. She is my life, without her, I was nearly dead”.

When deeply in love, a woman becomes God for the man, and vice versa, though ultimately they are just two manifestations of one soul. They are soul mates. The flipside: Often men and women meet and get so fascinated with each other that they think they have found their soul mates. Then they start living together and find that they are living with the wrong person! Such is the power of imagination that takes love to such peaks, only to throw it into abysmal valleys later!
