What happens when life feels meaningless and empty?

"Meaning arises not from the pursuit of more, but from the liberation of desire; in the stillness of awareness, life transforms into a dance of fullness and bliss."
According to Osho, the sense of meaninglessness and emptiness arises from the mind’s constant craving for “more.” Desire builds a wall; non-desire opens the door. Simply watch the urge to want, and in that awareness desiring dissolves. Then fullness, bliss, and spontaneous sharing emerge—life regains poetry, harmony, and dance. Meaning appears not by acquiring more, but by dropping the hunger for more.
If you stop chasing ‘more’ and just watch the wanting, the empty feeling fades and you feel naturally full and alive.
