Why do we feel a sense of refuge by looking at you?

outcome
"In my presence, your self-conscious ego moves aside, and in that silence, you discover the true refuge of existence that has always been within you."
According to Osho, you feel refuge in his presence when, even unknowingly, the ‘seer’—your self-conscious ego—moves aside. His silent peace, an elemental force, cools and soothes you like a breeze, allowing true seeing. He is only an excuse; whenever you forget yourself—in silence, with birds, by a river—the same refuge of Rama/existence reveals itself.
You feel safe because his calm helps you forget your noisy “me,” and then life’s natural peace holds you.
Why this matters practically
- Practice brief self-forgetting (silence, nature, breath) to access peace without a guru.
- Soften inner commentary to see clearly and reduce anxiety.
- Use quiet presence and simple settings as practical devices for inner refuge.
