According to Osho, longing is the soul’s pull toward its source: like a river rejoicing as it nears the ocean, longing signals movement beyond the beautiful beginning toward merger with the vast. In longing, the seeker may feel to disappear, yet only the limiting banks vanish; the dance becomes oceanic. Ultimately, longing is God seeking you—the ocean pouring itself into the dewdrop.
Longing means your heart is being pulled home, and if you follow it, the small you relaxes so life can become as wide as the ocean.
