What happens when one becomes aware of good actions like love and devotion?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When you awaken, even the good—love and devotion—begins to dissolve, revealing the profound emptiness that leads to pure consciousness and the essence of your being."
According to Osho, with awakening the bad drops and the good—love, devotion, compassion—initially flourishes. But deeper awareness exposes even the ‘good’ as the other face of duality, so it too melts away. Emptiness and peace deepen; finally even the notion of emptiness ceases, leaving the natural, thought-free, choiceless state—pure consciousness, Buddhahood.
At first awareness makes love and devotion grow, but with deeper awakening even these good feelings fade, and you rest as silent, natural awareness.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages doing good without clinging to a moral identity or pride.
- Reduces inner conflict by seeing love/hatred as a dual pair and moving beyond both.
- Guides meditation toward choiceless awareness rather than chasing positive states.
