What Are Emotions Called? (Part - 04)

Date : 27.07.2025

Osho says that there is no easier sadhana than the practice of friendliness. While doing any daily routine work or sitting alone, feel that a circle of friendliness is being formed around me. The whole universe is friendly with me. Within me too, flowers of friendliness towards the whole universe are blooming. The fragrance of the flowers of friendliness is making me happy. With this fragrance, a wave of peace has started running within me. With such a lovely imagination, the seeds of friendliness will start sprouting within us. Whatever you see, feel towards it that I am filled with friendliness towards it. I am full of friendliness. When you meet people, feel that your feeling of friendliness towards them is increasing day by day. The result of this will be that your mind will start becoming calm in proportion to friendliness. The buds of love will start sprouting within you. By merely imagining, you will start roaming in the world of friendliness, which used to run to cut off loneliness. That same loneliness will transform into solitude and become a symbol of pleasure and peace.

When I discovered the alchemy of friendliness, I started experiments to test its truth. The alchemy invented by Osho was new and original, so I could not find any relevant examples in any scriptures. I had to start experiments without any previous examples. If I saw a dog on the road, I would look at it in a friendly manner, and I would feel that the dog was also sending friendly feelings towards me. While walking through the markets and streets, I used to fear dogs like ghosts. That fear gradually started disappearing. I would look at every stray dog ​​in a friendly manner and would flow friendly feelings towards them in my heart, and the dogs would neither bark at me nor try to scare me. I became friendly towards them and they became friendly towards me.

Now I had stopped being afraid of walking through any street or locality. For the first time in my life, peace appeared and silence began to spread its wings. Loneliness did not bother me, rather it made me feel happy. But for family and well-wishers, silence was not a subject of experience. So they started showering questions on me. Someone would ask me why are you so sad? Someone would ask me why I did not react to people's harsh words? Someone would say why do you speak so softly? Someone would say where did my playfulness go. A well-wisher would ask whether I was moving towards becoming a Sanyasi? To the people around me, my peace of mind seemed to be synonymous with sadness.
