According to Osho, when you feel crucified or burned by experience, it is love’s cross at work: it destroys only the false—ego, hypocrisy, borrowed identities—so your authentic being can resurrect. Like a sculptor removing excess stone, the master burns away what you are not, revealing truth, freedom, beauty, and an unborrowed, eternal joy.
It’s like a sculptor gently chipping off pretend parts so the real you can shine—pain here is cleanup, not punishment.
