Ask Osho!

When does presence come?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Presence reveals itself the moment striving stops; it is here when the seeker’s effort falls away."

According to Osho, presence doesn't arrive in time or through effort; it reveals itself the moment striving stops. Asking 'when' is part of the very struggle that veils it. Relax, drop the attempt to produce presence, and simply be. In choiceless, non-doing awareness, what already is becomes obvious—presence is here when the seeker’s effort falls away.
Presence appears when you stop trying to make it happen and just be.
