According to Osho, when deep feeling brings unforced tears, prayer is already arriving; tears are auspicious and cleanse the eyes of the heart. Only judging, forcing, or suppressing them blocks prayer. The world still entices because we forget our divine source; as remembrance awakens through these tears, worldly glitter proves futile and longing for the Beloved grows.
If real tears come by themselves, your heart is remembering God—welcome them, and the world’s shiny things will start to matter less.
