Ask Osho!

Does the time away from us have significance in your work with us?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Rejoice in my absence as you would in my presence, for true mastery lies not in attachment to the form, but in discovering the silence and love within."

According to Osho, even time away from him is essential to the work: disciples must learn to rejoice in his absence as in his presence, sever attachment to his form, and mature into inner silence, love, and meditation that do not depend on him, because his physical presence will fade and the true master is found within.
Yes—being apart teaches you not to cling to the master and to stay peaceful and loving on your own.
Why this matters practically
- Builds inner independence and prevents spiritual dependency.
- Prepares you for the master’s physical absence and life’s changes.
- Deepens meditation and love that are unconditional and self-sustaining.
