According to Osho, love itself is neutral—like a ladder or doorway. If it sinks into lust and possessiveness, it hardens into attachment; if it is refined into prayer and awareness, it blossoms as dispassion. Don’t suppress love; transform and release it toward the divine. The same energy, rightly used, becomes fragrance: freedom without indifference, intimacy without clinging.
Love is like manure: hoard it as lust and it stinks (attachment); spread it as prayer and it makes flowers (dispassion).
