What is the nature of love?

“

True love is not a meeting of bodies or minds, but a sacred union of souls, where two beings surrender and trust each other completely.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, true love is not a meeting of bodies or even minds, but a union of souls—a surrendered, trusting, grateful openness where two beings move together. In sannyas this love is a sacred marriage with the Master: remembering, alert, ready to go wherever he leads, without doubt, possession, or forgetfulness.
Love is when your deepest self joins another in trust and openness, not just bodies or thoughts touching.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts relationships from outer form to inner presence and depth.
- Cultivates trust, gratitude, and surrender, easing fear and control.
- Encourages alert remembrance of your commitment, bringing steadiness to your path.
