Core Insight:
According to Osho, compassion flowers only when mind-made barriers—false labels like calling lust ‘love,’ expectations, and social etiquette—drop. Authentic love is a spiritual harmony; then passion transforms into compassion, friendliness, and gratitude. Otherwise, those mental distances turn intimacy into ‘intimate hatred.’ Removing such barriers allows real meeting, forgiveness, and the evolution from passion to compassion—the very growth of a Buddha within.
