What does homesickness mean?

Homesickness is the soul's yearning for its original source, a profound ache that drives us to seek the truth and awaken to our true home.

— Osho
According to Osho, homesickness can mean two very different things: a trivial craving for familiar misery, or the mystics' profound longing for the original source - God, truth, Nirvana. A prenatal memory of effortless wholeness persists in every cell, giving the sense that something is missing. This existential ache goads us toward our true home through meditation and awakening.

It's your deep heart missing where you truly came from—being safe, whole, and one with life (God)—not just your house.
