What should we understand about the concepts of hell and soul within?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Hell is the unacknowledged turmoil within, and only by truly seeing it can we leap into the timeless essence of existence, where the separate soul dissolves into the infinite."
According to Osho, hell is the unacknowledged turmoil within—fear, hatred, ego—the inner sewer we hide with ‘flowers.’ Truly seeing it is the first step; that total seeing sparks a leap out. Then the soul is revealed, but even that isn’t final. The ultimate leap dissolves the separate soul into the Void/Existence, where only the timeless, deathless IS remains.
First be completely honest about the fear and mess inside; seeing it clearly lets you step out, find your true self, and finally melt even that into the Bigger Being.
