definition
"When you abandon illusion and attachment, compassion does not disappear; it blossoms into a boundless wish for the happiness of all beings."
According to Osho, when attachment to the world is dropped, compassion does not vanish—it flowers. The very energy bound in craving and jealousy is transmuted into pure compassion and a spontaneous wish for all beings to be happy. Freedom from craving brings inner bliss, which overflows as service, generosity, and a contagious health that returns the enlightened to society to share the ‘diamond’ with all.
When you stop clinging and craving, your heart becomes so happy that you naturally want to help everyone.
