Ask Osho!

Can I expect bliss to fill the emptiness of being a hollow bamboo?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"True hollowness is not an emptiness to be filled, but a celebration of desirelessness, where the fullness of existence descends silently and effortlessly."

According to Osho, expecting bliss to fill your inner emptiness keeps you from true hollowness; the very desire blocks the bamboo. Real 'hollow bamboo' means total desirelessness—no expectation, no future. Celebrate emptiness for its own sake and forget even God. Then, without your seeking, fullness descends by itself—suddenly, silently—because true emptiness is already radiant, pure, and available.
Don’t wait for bliss to fill you; drop every wish, enjoy being empty now, and joy comes by itself.
