"When love is freed from the chains of ego and possessiveness, it blossoms effortlessly into devotion, guiding us from the human to the divine."
According to Osho, preeti naturally and inevitably matures into bhakti—through sneh, prem, and shraddha—provided the ‘seed’ is sown in right conditions: purity, protection, and nourishment. The only real obstacle is ego and possessiveness (“mine”). When love is purified of jealousy, miserliness, and self-interest, it flowers effortlessly into devotion, revealing our intrinsic movement from human to divine.
Yes—love grows into devotion step by step when you drop the “mine” feeling and care for it like a seed that becomes a flowering tree.
Why this matters practically
- Purify love (reduce jealousy and possessiveness) instead of chasing status or wealth.
- Create supportive conditions—awareness, kindness, early protection—so love can mature.
- Target the core obstacle (ego): loosen “mine” to sense the Divine in all.
