What is the nature of love?

True love is not a bargain; it is a celebration of growth, welcoming the challenges that expand our being rather than conforming to our expectations.

— Osho
According to Osho, love is pure, unconditional, and impersonal when it is free of expectations. The mind turns love into a bargain—‘fulfill my ideas and I’ll trust you’—but that only keeps you unchanged. True love does not demand the other fit your projections; it allows and even welcomes what challenges you, because its purpose is growth, not consolation.

Love means not making deals—letting someone be as they are, even when it isn’t what you expected.
