practice
"Deep love flourishes when you embrace the present moment with total energy and presence, allowing existence to flow through you. Trust that every encounter is an opportunity for depth to unfold from the surface."
According to Osho, deep love grows when you stop consoling yourself or condemning your bonds as ‘superficial,’ and instead enter active, prayerful waiting—an intense, alert openness where you let existence work through you. Bring total energy and presence to yourself and to whoever is before you; depth unfolds from the surface. Trust that every moment is the right season; be aflame, receptive, and the heart deepens.
Stop calling your love shallow; give warm, eager attention and wait with a prayerful heart, and love for yourself and others will naturally deepen.
Why this matters practically
- Replace judgment with presence to deepen any relationship, including with yourself.
- Practice “active waiting”: short daily times of heartfelt prayer/meditation, attentive listening, and readiness to love.
- Shift from pessimism to trusting life, making love grow here and now.
