Why is there so much resistance towards what I desire?

Desire creates resistance because true love challenges the very foundation of the ego; surrender to love, and watch resistance dissolve.

— Osho
According to Osho, resistance intensifies precisely where desire is deepest because real love threatens the ego’s existence. Attraction and resistance are twin poles: coming closer to what you truly want feels like a death of the old ‘you.’ The heart has already moved, but the mind fights on. Don’t force; allow time and free surrender—strong love inevitably dissolves resistance.

You resist what you most want because it would change who you think you are, so your mind gets scared while your heart already knows.
