Are the feelings experienced during separation related to the fear of death?

Separation is a reminder of the darkness we fear, a shadow of death that follows the taste of eternal presence; embrace it as a training to recreate the silence and totality within yourself.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Yes—being away feels like the light of life went off, so the dark scares you, until you learn to switch on that light inside by yourself.
Why this matters practically
- Practice presence, silence, and intensity in solitude to become spiritually self-sufficient.
- Reduce fear of death by discovering the “eternal” within, not dependent on anyone.
- Turn separation into a growth phase rather than a loss.
