How can I come closer to others?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Drop the doer, for in losing yourself, you become open to the joy that brings hearts together. Closeness is not achieved through effort, but through surrender and celebration of the present moment."
According to Osho, you come closer to others not by effort or willpower, but by dropping the doer. Doing strengthens ego—the very wall between hearts. Surrender, relax into receptivity, and let joy dissolve you: dance, sing, celebrate, be present. In losing yourself, openness appears, and closeness happens on its own.
Stop trying to make closeness happen; relax, be open and playful, and let connection come by itself.
