What happens when I fear dying in love?

True love is not a fear of dying, but a beautiful death of the old identity, leading to the resurrection of your real being. Embrace this transformation, for what appears as loss to others is a profound renewal within.

— Osho
According to Osho, your fear of ‘dying’ in love is unnecessary because true love (like sannyas) is already a death of the old identity and a resurrection of your real being. The ego dies; the nameless, formless center is reborn. Fear lingers only as an old idea—drop it. Outsiders see loss; participants experience inner renewal in the present.

When you love totally, the old ‘you’ fades and the real you wakes up; the scary feeling is just a leftover thought.
