The True Path of Love: Liberation from Society’s Chains
Friends, today I’m sharing something with you that comes from the depths of my heart. I’ve seen and felt that love never chooses a straight path. It’s always crooked, difficult, and filled with conflicts. But why? Because we’ve bound love in rituals, laws, conservative thinking, and social restrictions. These constraints defame love, turning its meaning into something negative. By going against nature, we’ve erected walls of mental slavery like religion, caste, regionalism, and nationalism. The result? Honor killings, thousands of restrictions on youth, and parents burdening their children with endless expectations. We program wrong ideas even into the child in the womb, and then suffer lifelong consequences.
But is love really that complicated? No! Love is like a fragrant breeze of air – it can’t be bound. Feel it like opening a window to let in the scented wind from beautiful valleys. The more openness and flexibility in relationships, the more love will flourish. No person is so attractive that one can stay bound in physical relations with them for a lifetime. Crushes or attractions to others are natural, but controlling emotions and living a lie is like sinning against your soul. Just as you can’t eat your favorite food every morning, noon, and night without getting bored, the monotony of nudity or physical intimacy creates boredom. Yes, two people can live together as friends for life when the word ‘mine’ disappears. Love has countless shades – affection, infatuation, lust – but suppressing them is wrong.
And in life, the more happiness, the more sorrow when it’s gone. But accept every event – whether joy or pain. “What I have now is sufficient for me” – adopt this mantra, and you’ll master the art of living.
Now, let me explain this inspired by the essence of Osho’s book “From S*x to Superconsciousness.” Osho, also known as Bhagwan Rajneesh, delves into the depths of s*x and spirituality in this book. Based on his lectures in India during the 1960s, he advocates understanding and elevating s*x rather than suppressing it.
Osho says that society and religion have turned s*x into a sin, repressing it and creating perversions. S*x is part of nature – it should be celebrated like a festival, not viewed with shame. S*x is energy that starts at the physical level and can rise to psychological and spiritual heights. Suppress it, and distortions arise; accept and transform it, and it leads to samadhi – the state of ultimate bliss.
The book is divided into three parts:
1 From S*x to Superconsciousness: Osho explains that s*x is the foundation of love. Suppressing it makes humans imbalanced. Understand s*x, treat it as sacred, and channel its energy into meditation. S*x gives bliss, but don’t rush it – experience it slowly so it reaches spiritual heights.
2 Society’s Repressive System: Osho criticizes how religion and morality have dirtied s*x. This leads to double lives – outward purity, inner perversions. He says acceptance of s*x brings liberation.
3 The Path of Transformation: Elevate s*xual energy – from physical to mental, then spiritual. When s*x turns into love, and love into meditation, samadhi is attained. Osho gives examples like water turning into v***r and rising, just as s*xual energy can become superconsciousness.
This book aligns with my thoughts. Love can’t be bound by emotional blackmail or restrictions. It’s free and open. Viewing s*x as sin is society’s mistake, leading to tragedies like honor killings. Osho says, “Understand s*x, live it, and transcend it.”
Friends, definitely read this book. It will teach you the true definition of love – without bonds, without pressure. Accept life, and let love flow. Remember, love is like air – if you try to grasp it, you’ll get nothing, but if you feel it, life will become fragrant.
Thank you.
