Core Insight:
According to Osho, the “joy” most people feel in love is not bliss but brief self-forgetfulness—a narcotic escape from one’s own loneliness, born of mind and lust. True bliss in love is earned through prayer, meditation, and inward depth; only then does love flower as choiceless presence, needing no “other.” When you know yourself, the illusion of the other dissolves, and love becomes a steady, self-sustaining radiance rather than a fevered high.
