Core Insight:
According to Osho, liking is superficial, momentary, and risk-free—an expression about yourself—whereas loving is a committed promise, an involvement that sees and honors the other's innermost, the divine core. Hence there is no 'ordinary' versus 'spiritual' love: all real love is spiritual, extraordinary, and timeless. What people call ordinary love is merely liking; love carries responsibility, risk, and a taste of eternity.
