What happens when I embrace the pain of longing?

outcome
"Embrace the ache of longing with awareness, and its tears will bloom into flowers, transforming pain into love and guiding you like a river to the ocean of your divine essence."
According to Osho, when you embrace the ache of longing with awareness and gratitude, its tears become flowers: the pain alchemizes into love, fullness, and silent joy, and the very thirst carves your unique path to the divine. Use the inner criterion—richness, aliveness, interiority, awe—to know it’s right; then longing guides you like a river inevitably reaching the ocean.
Welcome your yearning kindly, and it changes from hurt into a helpful force that leads you home to yourself.
