"When old emotions like jealousy and anger resurface, it is not a sign of their lurking presence, but a reminder that your light of awareness needs to be rekindled; keep the torch of consciousness burning, and love will naturally dissolve the darkness."
According to Osho, when jealousy, anger, or violence reappear after clarity, it’s not because they were lurking, but because your light of awareness was momentary. Darkness is only the absence of light. Don’t fight or repress these feelings; keep the torch of consciousness burning and cultivate love—the positive presence. Then those emotions, basically impotent, naturally dissolve without struggle.
If the room gets dark again, it’s because you blew out the candle—so stop punching the dark and just keep the light on by staying aware and choosing love.
Why this matters practically
- Saves energy: stop battling emotions and focus on steady awareness and love.
- Reduces relapses: a continuous inner “light” prevents jealousy/anger from arising.
- Improves relationships: acting from love, not repression or guilt, changes patterns.
