"Love arises from your being, not from absence; it is not dependent on family or proximity, but on your awareness rooted in the present."
According to Osho, when you’re away, what you feel as “love” often swells into nostalgic fantasies—an opium to escape present inner misery. Distance doesn’t create love; your unconscious projections do. Changing place or company won’t help. Become aware, rooted in the present; then love arises from being, not absence, and isn’t dependent on family, nearness, or separation.
When you’re away, you may dream up love to avoid current discomfort; real love comes from being aware here and now, not from distance.
