What happens when I feel a deep longing for someone?

outcome
"Longing is the flute of life calling you to celebrate presence; when freed from greed and possession, it transforms into a living experience of the Ultimate, where nothing is ever lost."
According to Osho, longing is natural—the flute of life wants to be played—but when filtered through greed and possession (“missing/not missing”), it becomes lack and you inevitably miss. Drop the accounting mind, dissolve the ‘I,’ and join the celebration of presence. Freed from grasping, longing turns into living presence, giving you a taste of the Ultimate where nothing is lost, whether the person is here or not.
Feel the longing without trying to own or secure anyone; relax into the present and it turns from painful lack into warm aliveness.
Why this matters practically
- Eases anxiety and attachment when someone is away.
- Transforms relationships from possession to celebration and presence.
- Opens a direct sense of inner fulfillment independent of circumstances.
