What happens when I feel closer to someone yet they seem to disappear?

outcome
"The closer you get to someone, the more the separate self dissolves; true connection arises only in the absence of 'I' and 'you."
According to Osho, feeling someone 'disappear' as you come closer is the Master’s way: the nearer you get, the more the separate person dissolves. It’s an invitation to follow into egolessness—death of the self and resurrection into emptiness. Real meeting happens only when neither 'I' nor 'you' remain: nowhere, timeless, to be and not to be.
When you get truly close, the idea of “me” and “you” melts, like two drops becoming one ocean.
