According to Osho, the line ‘Phulyo anphulyo rahyo ganvai gaon gulab’ means a rose’s scent does not stay local; it diffuses so widely that only at a distance is it truly felt. Likewise, an awakened one’s presence perfumes existence beyond his home; the nearer, the blinder. Recognition requires perspective, so his fragrance blesses far-off hearts while neighbors remain oblivious.
Like a flower’s smell, true goodness spreads on its own, but people standing too close often miss it until they step back.
