What is the nature of power and how should I respond to it?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Power is the rising life-energy that becomes a burden only when hoarded; share it freely as love and joy, and it transforms into a celebration of existence."
According to Osho, power is simply rising life-energy; by itself it’s not a problem. Trouble begins when you hoard it. The right response is to let it flow—share it as love, joy, song, dance, generosity, celebration. Learn the art of giving: complete meditation by spreading energy. Otherwise power congeals into burden, ego, and inner heaviness.
When you feel strong inside, don’t keep it; share it as kindness and joy, or it will make you feel heavy and sad.
