What happens when I fall in love?

"Falling in love is a sacred intoxication that shatters the mind and reveals the luminous balance within, transforming pain into pure ecstasy. Embrace the madness, for it burns away the dross and leads you to peace."
According to Osho, falling in love is a sacred intoxication: the mind won’t obey, yesterday’s order cracks, and a rising ecstasy overturns you. Enter it anyway—fear, pain, and even public defamation may come, yet the ‘madness’ burns away dross like gold in fire. First you sway (Meera), then you regain luminous balance (Buddha). When the mind goes, peace arrives; transformation follows.
It feels like being happily drunk: your old ways fall apart, people may complain, it can hurt, but it cleans you out and, after the wildness, you become peaceful and steady.
Why this matters practically
- Normalize upheaval and fear as signs of authentic love, not mistakes.
- Expect social pushback and choose truth over approval.
- Use awareness/meditation to move from ecstatic sway to centered balance.
