According to Osho, as awareness deepens and the mind becomes silent, you begin to sense a sacred presence as if the divine is coming nearer. In truth, nothing is approaching; the divine has always been here. What changes is your receptivity—your sensitivity warms, like water nearing a boil—until, in the sudden jump of enlightenment, even the sense of ‘divine-other’ dissolves into oneness.
When you get very quiet inside, it feels like God is coming closer, but really you’re just opening to what’s always here.
