What is it to be truly intimate?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True intimacy blossoms in the emptiness of the heart, where ego dissolves and we dance in harmony with existence itself. It is a universal connection that transcends names and distance, free from jealousy and claims."
According to Osho, true intimacy arises when the heart is empty—free of ego, claims, and personal exclusivity. In that emptiness you fall into the same tune and dance as the master, as existence itself. Such intimacy depends on you, not the other; it transcends names, distance, and meetings, and because it is universal, it creates no jealousy.
Empty your heart of ego and expectations so you naturally harmonize with life and feel close beyond people or distance.
