According to Osho, you feel refuge in his presence when, even unknowingly, the ‘seer’—your self-conscious ego—moves aside. His silent peace, an elemental force, cools and soothes you like a breeze, allowing true seeing. He is only an excuse; whenever you forget yourself—in silence, with birds, by a river—the same refuge of Rama/existence reveals itself.
You feel safe because his calm helps you forget your noisy “me,” and then life’s natural peace holds you.
