“Love is the greatest gift of God. 

But it is a raw phenomenon.

It has to be polished, refined, cut. 

It is like a raw diamond:

much has to be done before people 

can know its beauty and splendor.

And that’s my whole work here:

to help you refine your raw love 

into a refined, polished, cultured phenomenon.

So that it can become a source of 

upliftment for your soul. 

So that it can become 

a door to the divine.”

~ Osho
