Ask Osho!

What is the significance of presence?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True presence is the dance of crystal awareness and ecstatic love, where the heart sings and the mind falls still, revealing the infinite within."

According to Osho, true presence is the paradoxical union of crystal awareness and ecstatic love—alert like a lamp within, yet drunk with divine joy. This living balance flowers into song, dance, and fragrant silence, avoiding both the desert of dry vigilance and the stumble of unconscious intoxication. In such presence, the Master becomes a window to the infinite; mind and breath fall still, and wholeness reveals itself.
Presence means being wide-awake inside while joyfully flowing with life, so you move gracefully without getting dull or spaced out.
Why this matters practically
- Avoids extremes: neither dry, cold mindfulness nor mindless highs
- Brings clear, joyful energy to work, love, and daily tasks
- Keeps devotion healthy: relate to a master as a window to the vast, not an idol
