Ask Osho!

What is the process that happens between potential and ultimate?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The potential is already actual; the first step is the last, and what transforms is not the world, but the way we perceive it."

According to Osho, there is no process between potential and ultimate—no ladder, no gap. The potential is already actual; the ‘first step’ is the ‘last.’ What happens is a quantum leap: a sudden shift of consciousness, a change of gestalt, in which the same reality is seen differently. Nothing external changes; only perception flips from world to God, body to soul.
You don’t go anywhere—just change how you see, and you’re already at the goal.
Why this matters practically
- Stop chasing distant goals; cultivate presence now.
- Practice awareness to trigger the inner shift.
- Dissolve body/soul or world/God splits, reducing inner conflict.
