What happens when I experience love for someone and also for a spiritual teacher?

"Let your personal love be the first step on the staircase, while the love for your Master keeps the star of the divine alive within you, guiding your heart from seed to tree."
According to Osho, feeling love for a person is natural and valuable, but the love felt for a true teacher belongs to a subtler, higher dimension. Don’t equate the two. Let personal love be the first step, the staircase, and let the Master’s call keep a star alive in you—so love matures from seed to tree, from intimacy to the divine.
Enjoy your human love, but remember your teacher’s love points beyond it—don’t mix them up; use one to grow into the other.
