Why do people want to love and be loved?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love is the highest religion, an unconscious search for the divine that transforms our very being into a prayer and celebration. We do not possess love; we are possessed by it, and through the heart, it becomes a ladder to the divine."
According to Osho, people long to love and be loved because love is the highest religion—the heart’s unconscious search for God. It is prayer, celebration, and the meeting of masculine and feminine energies pointing beyond the personal. We don’t possess love; we are possessed by it. Approached through the heart, love becomes a ladder from sex to prayer to the divine.
Deep down we want love because our hearts are reaching for something bigger than ourselves—joy, connection, and God.
