What happens when I feel the urge to escape from love and joy?

The urge to escape from love and joy is merely the shadow of love itself; embrace the fear, expand your inner space, and let love flow freely like a breeze.

— Osho
According to Osho, the impulse to run from love and joy is love’s natural shadow—fear of losing what you can’t control. If you shut the doors, you feel safe but suffocate; if you stay open, love comes and goes like a breeze, returning fresher. Don’t fight fear; grow in maturity through meditation, expand your inner space, and trust existence—then the urge to escape dissolves.

When you feel like running, it’s just fear; keep your heart open, make more inner room with meditation, and love will keep returning.
