What should we do when the experience of the Divine is fleeting and difficult to attain?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When the divine seems fleeting, do not chase it; instead, relax into effortless awareness and become empty, for in egoless stillness, grace returns on its own."
According to Osho, when the divine glimpse feels fleeting, do not chase it; effort and ego shut the door. Relax into effortless awareness, drop the 'I', and become empty, receptive, and ungrasping. Like Augustine, stop trying to pour the ocean into the mind’s cup—lose yourself. In egoless, spontaneous stillness, grace returns on its own.
Stop trying so hard; relax, forget your “me,” and the joy comes back by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety by ending the chase; practice relaxed, non-doing awareness.
- Fosters humility and drops ego, making love and action natural, not forced.
- Builds patience and receptivity, letting grace arise in ordinary moments.
