According to Osho, intimacy with the soul (or master) demands the inner posture of discipleship—pure receptivity, dropping the choosing mind. Existence is already intimate with you, but unless you open, accept totally, and let guidance override your preferences, the connection won’t happen. Without this surrendering attitude you may gather ideas, yet miss the transforming contact.
You can’t truly feel the soul unless you stop picking and choosing and become totally open, like a trusting student.
