What is the need to awaken kundalini and practice sadhana if the goal is to attain shunya?

definition
"To awaken the kundalini and practice sadhana is to dissolve the illusion of separateness, returning to the ocean of being where sorrow ceases and the vastness of existence unfolds."
According to Osho, shunya is not nothingness but the whole; practice is needed to dissolve the false, separate 'well' into the ocean of being. Sadhana - awakening the inner energy (kundalini) and opening your inward channels - returns you to the ocean, ending ego-born sorrow. You gain nothing; you relinquish the lie of separateness and, in dissolving, become the vast.
You practice to melt your small, separate self into the big ocean of life—you don’t disappear; you become everything.
Why this matters practically
- Dissolves fear of death by reconnecting you with the whole.
- Transforms anxiety and isolation into belonging and ease.
- Clarifies practice: stop clinging; open inwardly and let go.
