practice
"Stop seeking love and acceptance; instead, become the love and acceptance you desire, for life reflects what you give."
According to Osho, recognize these longings as dreams of the ego; once seen, they lose their grip. Stop asking to be loved—love instead. Life echoes what you give. If you crave acceptance, accept others, or better, drop the whole race to be special. Be ordinary, real, and in harmony; then love and acceptance arise naturally.
Notice the wanting as a dream, and just start loving and accepting others while being your real, ordinary self.
Why this matters practically
- Turns anxiety into action: you stop craving and start giving.
- Builds genuine relationships by reflecting what you offer—love and acceptance.
- Frees you from comparison, bringing ease, joy, and authenticity.
