Ask Osho!

What is the reason for feeling a deep closeness to someone without formal initiation?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True closeness is not defined by rituals or physical presence, but by the resonance of hearts that beat in unison, transcending distance and form."

According to Osho, feeling deep closeness without formal initiation happens because true nearness is an inner bond of love—your heart attuned to another’s—not a matter of bodies or rituals. You may be miles apart yet near if hearts beat together. This is only the beginning; let inner resonance mature into outer harmony by aligning the inner and outer (sannyas).
You feel close because your hearts are tuned to the same station; papers, distance, or ceremonies don’t create real nearness.
Why this matters practically
- Trust heart-resonance over labels, roles, or physical proximity when discerning connection.
- Don’t stop at a feeling—let genuine inner closeness be supported by outer commitment when ready.
- Notice the mind’s excuses that avoid growth even when the heart already knows.
