What is the current understanding of love?

definition
"True love blossoms when we transcend the confusion of sex, transforming our energy into a creative expression free from need and obsession."
According to Osho, today’s ‘love’ is largely a confusion with sex—either repressed (which fuels obsession) or compulsively acted out (which soon feels empty). He teaches open, guiltless expression and meditative, creative living to transform sexual energy. When sex is understood and transcended, a non-needful, fresh, creative quality—true love—flowers beyond compulsion.
People mix up love with sex; if you stop repressing or chasing it and live creatively and mindfully, real love shows up without pressure or need.

- Reduces obsession and guilt by handling sexuality consciously.
- Frees energy for creativity, meditation, and joy.
