Is love a sin?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Love is not a sin; it is the raw gold of the heart, waiting to be refined into prayer."
According to Osho, love is not a sin but a virtue—the raw gold of the heart. Its impurities (attachment, possessiveness, ego) don’t make it evil; they are to be burned away so love refines into prayer. Love is the living soil of prayer; separating them creates guilt and hollow religiosity. When love matures into prayer, the divine opens.
Love isn’t bad; it’s good metal that, when cleaned of clinginess and ego, shines as prayer.
