According to Osho, emotional upheaval signals an inner purification: when you drop a miserable attachment, the psyche ‘deep-cleans,’ surfacing loneliness and the impulse to cling. Don’t rush back to people or old patterns; if you must, hold something harmless. Give your consciousness time to befriend aloneness. Then the beauty, purity, and ecstasy of solitude arise, and relationships become free of dependence.
Your feelings are scrubbing out old hurts—stay with being alone a bit, and you’ll feel cleaner and happier without grabbing someone to hold.
