"Love is not a technique to be practiced; it is the essence of your being waiting to bloom, and in surrendering to it, you dissolve the ego and open the door to the divine."
According to Osho, bhakti has no techniques: love is already in the heart. Practice means removing hindrances—relax, allow, and let it bloom. As it deepens, fear arises because love kills the ego; go on dropping fear and jump into intimacy. Surrender dissolves the “I,” turning the beloved into a doorway to the divine; avoid indifference, be patient and courageous.
Relax and let love happen, keep dropping your fears, move closer until your ego melts, and honor your beloved as a doorway to the divine—never be indifferent.
