"When a beloved teacher seems absent, do not rush into worry; rest in the present and discover that the true connection is not in proximity, but in the presence that blooms within you."
According to Osho, when a beloved teacher seems absent, don't rush into tomorrow with worry; be like lilies, rooted in the now. Absence only hurts when mind projects and clings; that worry is a funeral pyre. Rest in present awareness and the master's fragrance appears within you: innocence, beauty, and strength return. The true connection is presence, not proximity.
When your favorite teacher isn't around, stop worrying about later, stay with this moment, and you'll feel their wisdom alive inside you.
