“If you love a flower, don’t pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”

― Osho

Just heard this quote today. I can't imagine the song isn't at least partly based off of it.
