What is love?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love is not an action directed at someone; it is the natural fragrance of your being when your inner flower blooms."
According to Osho, love is not something you do or direct at someone; it is a state of being, the effortless fragrance that spreads when your inner flower blooms. It is non-possessive, beyond relationship, free of ego, manipulation, and power games. When you are love, silence and prayer-like stillness arise, and relationship may happen but is not its limit.
Real love is like a flower’s scent—it naturally comes from inside when you’re whole; it’s not grabbing or owning someone.
Why this matters practically
