Ask Osho!

What can I do if my partner falls asleep during a discourse?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Let your partner sleep; even in slumber, the soul can absorb the essence of truth. Remember, sleep is a spiritual activity, a healing in itself."

According to Osho, be kind and let your partner sleep; he may be coming only to please you. Sleep itself is a spiritual activity, even healing—just ask him not to snore or sit elsewhere if it bothers you. He misses nothing: many listeners are metaphysically asleep, and a dozy tandra can receive the master's message even more deeply.
Be gentle and let him nap—it’s okay, he might still be hearing inside; just avoid snoring or move seats if needed.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces control and conflict in relationships through kindness.
- Respects natural rest; calmness may deepen receptivity to truth.
- Practical etiquette: prevent snoring or change seats to avoid disturbing others.
