Isn't enlightenment the last resort?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Enlightenment is the last resort, but love is the living doorway that leads us there; keep moving toward truth, and let it seek you."
According to Osho, enlightenment is indeed the last resort—the ultimate culmination—but love can serve as its living doorway: for Milarepa, Shunyo herself is the last resort, his enlightenment. Therefore, keep moving toward truth; let him seek you. Lead, don’t follow, or both lose the way. Your authentic growth magnetizes and matures the other, making even a shared awakening possible.
Yes, enlightenment is the final stop, but sometimes loving someone who’s truly growing becomes the clearest path there—so you keep growing and let them be pulled along.
Why this matters practically
- Stay centered in your own awakening; don’t abandon your path to chase others.
- Your sincerity becomes a beacon that naturally inspires partners and friends.
- Treat relationships as mirrors that accelerate growth instead of distractions.
