definition
"When you realize that the chase for pleasure only leads to suffering, a profound thirst for the Divine is born from the emptiness of your attachments."
According to Osho, yes, the thirst for the Divine can be created by raising the most essential questions about life. When you clearly see the futility of repeating the same desires, stop using God to decorate worldly aims, and empty your hands of 'pebbles' (attachments), a new seeking arises. Seeing that the chase for pleasure breeds suffering, attention turns inward; that lucid disillusionment ripens into genuine thirst for the Divine.
Yes—notice that your usual pursuits don’t truly satisfy, let go of small attachments, and a natural longing for something real awakens.
