Does love only happen when it wants, or is there something we do to allow it?

outcome
"Love is not something you can force; it is a gift that arrives when you become spacious, silent, and receptive to existence."
According to Osho, love cannot be forced or produced by will; positively nothing can be done, yet negatively much can: practice wu-wei—relaxed nondoing, surrender, and alert waiting. Become spacious, silent, and receptive so existence can flow through you. God (love) is always knocking; your work is to be here-now, empty and available, and it will arrive in its season.
You can’t make love appear, but you can sit quietly, trust, and keep the door open so it can come in when it’s ready.
