“Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the resolve to keep going despite the fear.”
— Osho
Widely attributed to Osho from his discourses on love and attachment. One of the most shared spiritual quotes on the internet.
I watched people come to Pune saying they loved me. They wanted to own my words, bottle my presence, control what I said next. That is not love. That is collection. In the ashram there was a garden. The flowers were beautiful because nobody cut them. When you grab what you love, you kill it. Let the people you love breathe. Your job is not to hold them. Your job is to see them.
