definition
"The holy war is not against others, but a loving battle within, where the light of awareness dissolves the darkness of our beliefs and illusions. In the presence of a Buddha, this transforming fire heals rather than harms, chiseling away the inner thorns we mistake for ornaments."
According to Osho, the holy war is already underway and it is a cool, loving battle of dharma: the light of awareness dissolving darkness, beliefs, and idols. No strategies, no enemies—only consciousness removing inner thorns and chains we mistake for ornaments. In a buddha’s presence this transforming fire soothes rather than burns, though its chiseling can feel painful.
It’s not fighting people; it’s the gentle light inside you melting fears and false ideas, even if letting them go can sting a bit.
