In today’s world, love is one of the most spoken words, but also the lowest sense. Often people associate love with ownership, expectations and conditions. But spiritual guru Osho Rajneesh looks at Prem from a completely different perspective. According to him, “Truth love has no bond, no expectation, and most important – it does not have selfishness.”
Love or positiveness?
Osho says that we often confuse love. What we call love is actually an attempt to get someone or keep it tied. We want the person in front of us, fulfill our desires, we want to leave or punish him only – and if we do not do so. Osho says, “If you really love, leave the front person free. Leave the front free. If he returns, he was yours if he does not return, he was never yours.”
Unconditional love
According to Osho, love is only lived when there are no conditions. Just as the Sun sheds light on everyone, so love also does not consider any caste, religion, age, relationship or authority.
They say –
“Prem is not a relationship, it is a state of being.”
Love is not a relationship, this is a state.
This means that love is not a contract, but a lifestyle in which you connect with everyone without expectation.
When love is independent
Osho believes that love flourishes only when he is given freedom. They say that two lovers, respecting each other’s freedom, connect with each other as if two flowers are blossomed in the same garden-even with each other different.
He says:
“Freedom is the fragrance of true love.”
Freedom is the smell of true love.
Therefore, if you love someone, then let him fly, open, make your world.
Society imposed love
Osho criticizes that the society has made love an institution – conditions like marriage, loyalty, religion, consent of society have been added. While love is easy, natural and personal feeling. They say that society has tried to control love, so that it looks “disciplined”. But the biggest feature of love is his uncontrolled and unlimited.
Relation of love and meditation
Love and meditation for Osho complement each other. They believe that the person who meditates can love. Because carefully a person peeks within himself, recognizes his ego and in love he starts melting.
They say:
“If you can be loving, you can be meditative.
If you can be meditative, you can be loving. “
This means that if you can love, you can meditate. And if you can meditate, real love is also possible.
How to teach children love?
Osho also insists on the fact that children should be given the right education of love from childhood – such love that is natural, bindless, free. They should teach that when they love someone, do not try to change it. They believe that we teach our children only social discipline and morality, but do not tell them that love is an art – and it takes birth from art, freedom and enlightenment.
