Feeling

Q: What is the essence of feeling?

According to Osho, the essence of feeling is the silent, living energy of the heart—prior to thought, name, and judgment. When you rest in awareness, feelings reveal their core as love, sensitivity, and presence, guiding you beyond mind’s noise. Feeling, unresisted and witnessed, becomes a doorway to meditation, intimacy with life, and authentic action.

Q: What is this feeling that seems always present yet far away?

According to Osho, that ever-present yet distant feeling is truth—your own consciousness. It seems far only when the mind/ego tries to grasp, possess, or 'feel' it. Truth cannot be caught; it happens when the doer dissolves. Be utterly quiet, non‑doing, allowing yourself to be possessed by it. In moments of love, beauty, or silence, it reveals itself as what you already are.
