What is the nature of devotion that allows some to survive extreme trials?

True devotion transforms the inner landscape, dissolving all poison within, so that even in the face of extreme trials, love turns venom into nectar.

— Osho
According to Osho, the devotion that survives extreme trials is a total, love-suffused consciousness so intense that inner ‘poison’—anger, hatred—has dissolved; like attracts like, so with no inner toxin, outer poison cannot enter. Absorbed trust and love reshape physiology and perception; the body follows the mind. Such single-pointed love is unaware of threat, turning even venom into nectar.

When your heart is completely full of love and trust, harmful things can’t take hold because there’s nothing inside them can cling to.
