What happens to our perception of the divine presence as we become more aware and silent?

outcome
"As your awareness deepens and the mind becomes silent, you realize that the divine has always been present; it is your receptivity that transforms, leading you to the oneness that transcends the illusion of separation."
According to Osho, as awareness deepens and the mind becomes silent, you begin to sense a sacred presence as if the divine is coming nearer. In truth, nothing is approaching; the divine has always been here. What changes is your receptivity—your sensitivity warms, like water nearing a boil—until, in the sudden jump of enlightenment, even the sense of ‘divine-other’ dissolves into oneness.
When you get very quiet inside, it feels like God is coming closer, but really you’re just opening to what’s always here.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts seeking from an external God to cultivating inner silence and sensitivity.
- Reduces impatience: practice ripens gradually, realization happens suddenly.
- Guides practice toward awareness rather than chasing spiritual experiences.
