What is love?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Real love is not a possession but a communion with the universe, transcending the personal to embrace the ultimate."
According to Osho, love is not the fragile, momentary 'soap-bubble' of ordinary affairs; real love is a great love affair—a communion with the whole universe. A master may serve as a window to that vastness, but love is for the sky, not the window-frame. True love transcends possession, jealousy, and desire, opening you beyond the personal into the ultimate.
Love means opening to the whole sky of life, not clinging to the window (person) who helps you see it.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts relationships from possessiveness to spaciousness, reducing jealousy and fear.
- Prevents idolizing teachers or partners; you seek the vastness they reveal.
- Guides daily choices by awareness of the whole, not momentary cravings.
