What happens when one tries to feel that love is God and existence?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When you force yourself to feel that love is God, you merely imitate your projections and mistake emotion for divinity; true realization arises from a relaxed understanding that reveals godliness in every moment."
According to Osho, forcing yourself to 'feel' that love is God leads to imitation: you project your idea of love—which is usually lust—mistake emotion for divinity, and end up farther from truth, even encountering its opposite. Realization isn’t a feeling or a thought but a transformation of being through relaxed understanding and openness; then godliness is perceived everywhere.
If you try to force a holy love-feeling, you’ll mix it up with wanting and passion; relax and understand, and real love quietly shows up in everything.

- Stops confusing lust or sentiment with love.
- Encourages patience and openness rather than rushed spiritual practice.
- Points to transformation through understanding, revealing the sacred in daily life.
