Ask Osho!
Osho on Why did the Jain stream, filled with anekanta and syadvada, become loveless?

Why did the Jain stream, filled with anekanta and syadvada, become loveless?

When love is seen merely as a doctrine to be followed rather than the ultimate fruit of realization, the heart becomes dry and loveless.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
To avoid fake ‘love’ and God-talk, people leaned so hard into strict meditation that they threw out real love and, stuck in rules, never reached where true love naturally appears.
Why this matters practically
- Balance devotion and meditation so warmth isn’t lost and attachment doesn’t hide as ‘love’.
- Practice sincerely instead of clinging to doctrines; realization gives rise to authentic love.
- Regularly rebalance your path to avoid drying up in austerity or drowning in sentiment.
