"Embrace the dance of opposites; love and hate, anger and compassion are not enemies but partners in the rhythm of life, each renewing the other in their cyclical embrace."
According to Osho, harmony arises by seeing so-called opposites as one rhythm: hate and anger come and go, while love and compassion endure and even grow by absorbing them. The issue isn’t hate but unlived love. Love fully, allow distance when it appears, then return; like hunger and satiety, day and night. Embrace the cycle consciously - 'divorce and remarry' - and each pole renews and strengthens the other.
Opposites are part of one dance—let the ‘going away’ moments happen, then come back to love and kindness stronger.
