What is jiveshana (the urge to live)?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Jiveshana is the Divine energy within you; do not suppress it, but live it fully, for it is the pure essence of life waiting to be revealed."
According to Osho, jiveshana is the Divine itself—the eternal, pure life-energy surging within. It is auspicious and true; don’t suppress it, live and relish it. What corrupts it are impure forms—egoic cravings for immortality of the body, status, wealth, fame—like a diamond buried in mud. Through total understanding (mind, heart, being), these layers fall away naturally, revealing the boundless, Godlike expansion of life.
The urge to live is God’s life-energy inside you—enjoy it, but don’t confuse it with chasing money, fame, or keeping the body forever; see clearly and the extra junk drops away.
