Core Insight:
According to Osho, preeti is pure, divine feeling—like light before it falls on anything—utterly desireless. When this undirected love is poured into a particular person or object, it takes forms (prem, sneh, shraddha) and the object’s “shadow” colors it with attachment, expectation, desire. Thus desire is not inherent in preeti; it appears when love is objectified. Stay with the source to keep love free.
