According to Osho, true spiritual growth flowers as love that is warm, playful, and laughing—not as grim seriousness. Love ripens consciousness into joy, dance, and a smiling silence; without it, religion becomes cold, marble-like, and life-denying. Love’s fragrance appears as laughter, the sacred crest of awareness, crowning life like foam on waves and keeping the heart young, open, and alive.
Love helps you grow spiritually by keeping you joyful and relaxed instead of tight and serious.
