What is the significance of touching someone's feet?

Touching someone's feet is not a ritual for blessings but a spontaneous expression of gratitude, a bodily symbol of an inner state that arises naturally from the heart.

— Osho
According to Osho, touching someone’s feet has no magical power and should never be a bargain for blessings. Its only true significance is as a spontaneous, uncalculated expression of gratitude, reverence, or devotion after something has already been received. Like lovers embracing or the angry striking a head, it’s a bodily symbol of an inner state—spiritually meaningful only when arising naturally, not as ritual.

Touching feet only means something if it comes naturally from real thankfulness inside; doing it to get blessings does nothing.
