Core Insight:
According to Osho, it’s hard to face emptiness because we’ve been conditioned to reject ourselves and to believe bliss lies somewhere outside. Disconnected from our inner space, we escape into distractions—restaurants, movies, movement—mistaking boredom for a signal to seek elsewhere. This avoidance reinforces hollowness; only turning inward, accepting oneself, and resting in one’s own center transforms the “void” into living paradise.
