According to Osho, people reject the one who desires them because they intuit the hidden hook in wanting—jealousy, ownership, exploitation, and bondage masquerading as love. Desire threatens their freedom, so they protect themselves. Purify desire into prayer: drop possessiveness and demands, give without expecting return. When love is only giving—no hook, only dough—others relax, feel blessed, and naturally come close.
People run from your “love” when it feels like a trap; make it free and giving, and they’ll want to stay.
