Can the eye be made receptive like the ear?

“

When your gaze stops attacking and begins to reflect, you will see the formless Divine in every form, and the 'other' will reveal itself as your own self.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, the eye can become as receptive as the ear only after self-knowing dissolves inner aggression. As awareness ripens, your gaze stops attacking and starts reflecting; you see the formless Divine in forms, beauty everywhere, the 'other' as yourself. Begin by choosing non-aggressive traits and meditative prayer; inner bliss pervades the senses, turning vision into love's mirror.
Yes—find peace and love inside first, and your eyes will naturally look gently and see goodness and oneness everywhere.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces conflict by replacing a judging, aggressive gaze with compassionate seeing.
- Transforms relationships: you perceive others' potential and divinity, inviting love.
- Practical path: daily meditation and choosing non-aggressive responses reshape perception.
