"Even in deep love, the ego's fear can create distance; only awareness and surrender can bridge the gap and bring true connection."
According to Osho, even deep love and a powerful pull do not guarantee you won’t miss; unconsciousness, hidden expectations, and the ego’s fear of dissolving can turn a nearness of one foot into miles, as with Judas. Closeness often breeds subtle ambition. Only awareness prevents going astray. Enlightenment isn’t transmissible; love must be joined with alertness, surrender, and dropping desire to truly meet the master.
Even if you feel very close and loving, you can still lose your way if you act unconsciously from secret wants and fear—so stay awake and let go.
Why this matters practically
- Notice and question hidden expectations and ambitions in close relationships.
- Practice moment-to-moment awareness before acting, especially under strong emotions.
- Value consciousness over proximity; pair love with humility and surrender.
