Is self-knowledge bliss-incarnate?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Bliss is not an extension of pleasure; it transcends joy and sorrow, waiting for you to turn inward and discover it directly."
According to Osho, the Self (atman) is realized as bliss only by those who truly know; for the unknowing, repeating "bliss-incarnate" is a dangerous illusion. Bliss is not extended pleasure—it is beyond both joy and sorrow. Therefore, do not cling to descriptions; turn inward, restore your own "eyes," and discover directly rather than living on borrowed words.
Don’t just believe that your true self is endless happiness—open your own inner eyes and experience the truth beyond happy or sad.
