What happens when I explore the depths of my being and encounter nothingness?

"In the depths of your being, when the surface 'I' dissolves, you discover that true nothingness is not emptiness, but the profound undivided presence of all that is."
According to Osho, when you truly descend into your depths, the surface ‘I’ and its need for a ‘thou’ dissolve; waves cease and aloneness—meaning all-one presence—remains. If you still feel “I am facing nothingness,” it’s the mind playing at depth. In real nothingness there is no knower, no doubt, no loneliness—only undivided presence without observer and observed.
Go deep enough inside and the ‘me’ disappears into a peaceful wholeness; if you still feel like someone looking at emptiness, the mind is pretending.
Why this matters practically
- Distinguish loneliness (ego missing others) from aloneness (full presence).
- Reduces fear of emptiness by seeing doubt arises only when an ‘I’ remains.
- Guide your practice: rest in silent awareness until observer and observed drop.
