Core Insight:
According to Osho, healthy self-love is a sacred beginning of all love: it nurtures body, soul, and potentials, brings grace, silence, and meditation, and naturally radiates love to others. Egoistical pride is its opposite—an icy, separate self that cannot coexist with love. True self-love melts the ego into selflessness; lack of self-love breeds self-hatred, destructiveness, and alienation.
