According to Osho, empathy—not sympathy or apathy—is the living current that reveals our fundamental relatedness. In empathy, separations dissolve; the 'other' is no longer other, and a secret passage opens between beings. This communion joins you to the life current in people, animals, and trees; it is pure religiousness, the bridge of the heart.
Empathy means feeling another’s pain or joy as your own, showing we are all connected.
