What is the constructive use of love in spiritual practice?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love is the ladder that transforms fear into freedom, guiding us from the visible to the formless, from creation to the Creator."
According to Osho, love is the constructive path: direct life’s energy from fear into love, begin with loving the visible world, then deepen—persons to presence, form to formless—so love becomes a ladder from creation to Creator. By accepting, experimenting, and refining even a faint love, it grows into a powerful current that liberates.
Start by genuinely loving people and the world; that love grows step by step into love of the divine and frees you from fear.
