According to Osho, love is the inner nectar brewed through meditation—an overflowing presence that ripens into faith and becomes religion—while desire is the outward rush to the tavern, a small-hearted craving for objects and possession. Refine raw love like an uncut diamond; as its ego-demand melts, it shines as devotion, revealing the Divine rasa.
Love comes from inside and gives; desire chases things outside and wants to get.
