When one attains siddhi and experiences separateness, do bodily pain and mental anguish stop?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Siddhi does not eliminate bodily pain, but it liberates you from the suffering of identification; in witnessing, you find clarity amidst the storm."
According to Osho, attaining siddhi and the sense of separateness does not end bodily pain; pain is an event in the body and is still felt. What ends is suffering—mental anguish born of identifying with pain. The enlightened remain as witnessing consciousness, acutely aware yet unattached; thus there is clarity and sensitivity without inner turmoil, even amid intense physical pain or loss.
You’ll still feel hurt, but you won’t be hurt inside by it because you’re just watching it.
Why this matters practically
- Stay calm during pain or illness.
- Handle grief and stress without drowning in it.
- Practice witnessing to reduce identification with discomfort.
