What is love?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love cannot be defined; it must be lived and directly known, free from the conditioning that distorts its natural flow."
According to Osho, love cannot be defined; it must be lived and directly known. Humanity has replaced living love with second‑hand ideals, sermons, and rules that falsify it and block its natural flow. The mind isn’t poison—conditioning is. Drop borrowed notions and meet life freshly; then love, an innate nectarous quality, surfaces by itself.
Love isn’t what people say it is; it’s what you naturally feel when you let go of other people’s ideas and open to life.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from chasing ideals to actually experiencing presence and connection.
- Reduces guilt and conflict created by borrowed moral rules and labels.
- Encourages unlearning conditioning so authentic love can flow in relationships.
