What is the sense of absence in the context of presence?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"In the disappearance of the personal ego, what seems like absence reveals an overflowing presence of godliness, love, and light. When you vanish as a separate self, the sacred descends and fills the inner space with living presence."
According to Osho, the sense of absence is the disappearance of the personal ego; when the person evaporates, it does not leave emptiness but unveils an overflowing presence — godliness, love, light, sacredness. One cannot coexist with God; self-fullness blocks it. By vanishing as a separate somebody, inner space opens and the sacred descends as living presence.
When you stop being full of your “me,” there’s space for a warm, living presence (God) to shine within.
Why this matters practically
- Less ego means more peace, love, and clarity in daily interactions.
- Practicing silence, openness, and surrender invites living presence.
- You relate from depth and authenticity, not from opinions or roles.
