"When you are moved by the emotions of others, your ego dissolves, and you become a hollow mirror reflecting the essence of existence—this is not weakness, but the path to compassion and enlightenment."
According to Osho, when others’ emotions move you, your ego is melting and you are becoming a mirror—hollow like a bamboo through which existence sings. This fluid resonance isn’t weakness but a sign of oneness: personality’s rigid boundaries dissolve, compassion arises spontaneously, and you reflect whatever is—sadness, joy, song, dance—drawing you close to samadhi and enlightenment. Relax; don’t resist.
You feel others’ feelings because the ‘me’ is melting and one shared life is flowing through you.
Why this matters practically
- Drop rigid self-protection and flow with life.
- Deepen empathy and connection in relationships.
- Suffer less by letting feelings pass through without clinging.
