Sometimes, love’s biggest test comes when it ends. Alex learned that the hard way. After a brutal breakup, he couldn’t let go. He’d replay their fights in his head, stalk his ex’s social media, and wonder how to win her back. “I felt like I’d lost everything,” he says.
Then a friend handed him an Osho book. One line hit him like a ton of bricks: “Love is not about the other. Love is about your own flowering.” Alex realized he wasn’t missing his ex—he was missing the version of himself he’d tied to her. His attachment wasn’t love; it was a crutch.
So, he turned inward. He started meditating, writing, and rediscovering what made him tick. “I stopped chasing her and started chasing me,” he says. Over time, the ache faded. He didn’t need her to feel whole. And the wildest part? “Once I stopped needing someone else to complete me, I started meeting people who actually added to my life,” he laughs.
Freedom v/s Possession
Freedom
Love can lift you up or weigh you down — it all depends on how you approach it. Check out this simple chart to see where your love lands : freedom or possession?
Trusting your partner
Encouraging their independence
Loving without conditions
Celebrating their growth
Feeling secure in yourself
Where do you fall ? If possession feels familiar, don’t sweat it—most of us start there. Try this : next time you feel that itch to control, pause. Take a breath. Let your partner (or your self) have some space . Little by little, you' ll see that love doesn’t need a leash to stay strong—it grows wild and free when you let it.
Possession
Doubting or checking up on them
Feeling threatened by their friends
Expecting constant attention
earing they’ll out grow you
Needing them to feel complete
Love without attachment isn’t a finish line—it’s a daily choice. It’s messy, it’s scary, and it takes guts. But as Osho puts it, “The real thing is not to possess; the real thing is to experience.” So, loosen your grip. Trust the flow. You might just find that the love you’ve been searching for has been waiting to bloom all a long.
THE Power of Awareness
O S H O ' S P A T H T O L I V I N G F U L L Y
Imagine living life fully awake, where every moment is vivid and clear. This is the essence of awareness, a concept central to Osho's teachings. For Osho, awareness is the state of being fully present, observing life as it unfolds without getting entangled in thoughts or emotions. He likened it to a mirror—reflecting everything but remaining unaffected. It’s not about suppressing the mind but witnessing it without judgment.
Awareness brings profound benefits. It fosters emotional freedom, allowing you to experience feelings like anger or joy without being controlled by them. It also cultivates innerpeace, creating a stillness that remains steady even amid life’s chaos. Through awareness, you gain clarity, seeing situations as they are, free from the mind’s distortions. Practicing awareness begins with meditation. Try mindfulness meditation: focus on your breath for a few minutes daily, gently returning your attention when the mind
wanders. Osho also encouraged mindful living—eating, walking, or even breathing with full presence. These small acts become gateways to a richer, more conscious life Challenges like distractions and the ego’s resistance are natural. Osho advised creating moments of silence and observing the ego without battling it. With patience, awareness grows, transforming ordinary moments into opportunities for insight and peace.
Start small: take a few mindful breaths each day. As Osho
said, “Awareness is the seed of godliness within you.” Nurture
it, and watch your life bloom.
