What is the relationship between love and our intrinsic being?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love is not an action but a state of being; it arises in the silence of the mind and the stillness of the ego, revealing the essence of our true nature."
According to Osho, love is not something we do but something that happens when we stop doing. It descends from the unknown, the eternal, the moment the mind’s activity and the ego’s claim of ‘I’ fall silent. In that inner emptiness—our intrinsic being—love appears by itself, like breath, the natural fragrance of pure presence.
When you stop trying and grow quiet inside, the open space of who you really are lets love show up by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from forcing love to allowing it by letting go of control and busyness.
- Encourages daily moments of silent non-doing to soften ego and calm mental noise.
- Reduces anxiety by trusting love as a natural emergence of inner spaciousness.
