According to Osho, feeling a haunting "missing" is a blessed beginning: you are sensing the absence of your real self. You live as a polished shadow while your authentic, divine being follows, awaiting recognition. As you meet it (often through a master's introduction), the phony identity must die, fear may arise, and life restarts from innocence, fresh, true, and alive.
That empty feeling means you’ve lost touch with the real you; notice it, let the fake self drop, and you’ll meet the true you and start life anew.
