According to Osho, 'missing' seduces us because it keeps the ego alive: the sense of 'me' feeds on seeking, desiring, and the gap between what is and what should be. Living for distant goals enlarges this ego, while presence ends it. When the 'should' drops and we are simply herenow, the ego collapses and freedom (wu-wei, effortless being) reveals itself.
We like missing because chasing makes our ‘me’ feel important, but if we stop chasing and just be here now, that fake ‘me’ fades and peace shows up.
