What causes the feeling of restlessness when away from a spiritual teacher?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Restlessness arises when your sense of home is borrowed from the master; deepen your love until you internalize him, and then you will find that home resides within you, everywhere you go."
According to Osho, the restlessness comes because your sense of “home” is still borrowed from the master’s presence. Away from him, the mind again feels homeless. This shows the connection is still superficial and the ego-desire remains. Deepen closeness, trust, and love until you “melt,” internalize the master, and discover the home within; then his presence abides in you everywhere and restlessness disappears.
You feel restless because you depend on your teacher to feel at home; learn to hold that home inside by trusting and letting the ego go.
Why this matters practically
- Move from dependence on the teacher to inner rootedness.
- Feel calm and ‘at home’ even when physically apart.
- Practice deep trust, love, and ego-surrender so the presence abides within.
