outcome
"When love matures, it transcends possessiveness and leads you closer to your own being, unveiling the divine within."
According to Osho, when love is happening, give yourself wholly to it—one world at a time. The first, bodily love ripens into mental friendship where possessiveness drops and you both face something higher. Eventually this love evaporates like dewdrops, and a new, deeper, objectless love arises. Only that mature love brings you nearer to your own being—and to the Master.
Enjoy your love fully now; as it matures, jealousy fades, it becomes friendship, and finally melts into a quiet love that brings you close to yourself and to truth.

- Lowers jealousy by viewing love as a ladder to maturity.
- Trains presence: focus on what is, not fantasies.
