What is the true nature of devotion?

Devotion is the alchemy of transforming life's raw energies into a higher fragrance, a journey where every experience becomes a step toward the divine, leading us from forgetfulness to the bliss of samadhi.

— Osho
According to Osho, devotion is the natural, ongoing transformation of life’s raw energies—from appetite, sex, anger, entertainment—into higher fragrance; it is the journey of the seed into the flower, never stopping at the first impulses. Devotion means moving beyond temporary forgetfulness toward a mind-free state of compassion, love, and blisssamadhi—using every experience as a step toward God rather than a destination.

Like a seed becoming a flower, keep growing past quick pleasures and anger, turning them into love and calm, until your mind is quiet and you feel close to God.
