Obsession is complete domination of mind by one idea,like trading in stock market despite loss.Passion is a kind of strong desire,like passion for keeping dogs as pet,owning different kind of bikes like MS Dhoni.Bike keeping is his passion.

Obsession is one of the cornerstones of the religious activity within Spiritism. It is defined by Allan Kardec as the interference of a subjugating spirit on a weaker one and, although usually taken for granted as meaning the negative influence of the spirit of an evil deceased person on the mind of another one that is alive, can occur either way.
It is discussed by Spiritists as the major danger that the unprepared medium will have to face and is believed to be one of the most frequent causes of mental diseases and criminal behaviour. It is "treated" at Spiritist Centres by means of praying and teaching.

Obsession is when u get addicted to a thing, resulting in its over doing. over indulgence of any kind is harmful. passion is when your heart is with u in doing a thing. usually passionate jobs are harmless and are necessary for the soul.
