Is the concept of soulmates more useful than marriage?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Love is not about labels like soulmates or marriage; it is about your inner capacity to love freely, unconditionally, and to celebrate the happiness of the other."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the concept of soulmates is no more useful than marriage; changing labels doesn’t transform relationships. What matters is your own understanding and capacity to love—non‑possessive, giving, and granting freedom. Without inner change, you’ll recreate the same hell. Love is an emperor: it gives unconditionally and rejoices in the other’s happiness.
Changing the name doesn’t fix love; become loving—free, non-possessive, and generous.
Why this matters practically
- Stops chasing labels and focuses you on real inner change.
- Encourages freedom, non-possessiveness, and generosity in love.
- Reduces conflict by taking responsibility to give rather than demand.
