According to Osho, being overwhelmed—even by love for the whole—means you are lost in emotion: reason, sensitivity and awareness are clouded, so whatever you do will likely be wrong. Overwhelming emotions are unstable; they surge and leave emptiness and sorrow. Real love is not an emotion but an expression of your being: a lucid, sensitive, aware presence. Transform emotion into meditative clarity.
If love feels like a tidal wave, you’re just swept by feelings; true love is a calm, clear light that comes from deep inside.
