"Cultivate aesthetic awareness and let beauty enter your eyes; true appreciation dissolves the craving to own, for possession kills beauty and enslaves."
According to Osho, when the urge to possess beauty arises, neither repress it nor grab it; cultivate aesthetic awareness. Look deeply, pause, let beauty enter your eyes, and remain a loving witness. True appreciation dissolves the craving to own, because possession kills beauty and enslaves. Train your sensitivity so delight in seeing replaces the compulsion to possess.
Enjoy the flower without plucking it—look, feel, and let it be.
