Does wanting more block my availability to receive silence?

Wanting more immediately closes you off from silence; remain open and grateful, and let silence blossom in abundance.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes, wanting more immediately closes you off from silence and bliss. Don’t ask, seek, or knock; expectations contract your openness. Stay alert, be grateful for whatever comes, and keep the heart’s doors open; then silence flowers by itself, in abundance. Presence and the company of blissful people support this receptivity—bliss is contagious when you remain available rather than demanding.

If you keep wanting more, you shut the door to quiet; relax, be thankful, and it will come on its own.
