Love is the deepest and precious experience of life. But often people ask the question, “How to identify true love?” Is love just attraction, is it associated with someone’s beauty or is it a momentary emotional stretch? Osho, who has a deep and impeccable opinion on life and love, has shared many views on this subject. According to him, love is not a relationship, but a state. When a person loves from within, then he expresses love for others. Let us know how true love can be identified based on Osho’s ideas.
1. Love gives freedom, not bondage
Osho says that where there is love, there is freedom. If your love starts imprisoning someone, asserting authority over it or taking away his freedom, then it is not love, but selfishness. True love always gives an open sky to your beloved. He keeps you with him and also respects your freedom.
2. There is no fear in love
Where there is fear, there cannot be love. If you are constantly living in the fear that your partner will leave you, cheat or go to someone else, then this fear will make your love hollow. Osho says that true love is fearless. Its foundation is deep of belief, which is beyond any doubt or doubt.
3. Love is beyond expectations
Osho believes that true love is never ‘transaction’. If you continue to expect something with your love – whether it is praise, security or support – it is not love, but business. True love is the one where you know only to give without any expectation. When you give love as a gift, then it is true.
4. There is no criticism in love, but acceptance
True love is always a acceptance. Osho says that a lover never tries to change his beloved. If you want another person to mold himself according to your thinking, habits or lifestyle, then it is not love. Love is the one where you accept the person the same as he is – with his goodness, with his weaknesses.
5. Peace comes from love
If love is constantly giving you stress, restlessness and restlessness, then it cannot be love. Osho says that true love brings deep peace and pleasure within. When the lover and girlfriend are close to each other, they should have a feeling of ease and peace, not struggle.
6. Love is pleasure in itself
According to Osho, love is not based on any reason. If you say “I love you because you are beautiful, because you are rich, because you are intelligent,” so it is not a love, but a condition. True love is without any reason. This is just “it”. In this, bliss does not come for external reasons, but love itself is a source of bliss.
7. Difference between love and attachment
Often people consider love and attachment to the same, but Osho explains it. Attachment hurts because it has a sense of “mine”. But love does not owe. You love another person, respect him, but do not consider it as your subject. This is the difference between true and false love.
