Will the ego dissolve?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"The ego is a borrowed mask; as you deepen your awareness and simply witness, it loses energy and melts away, revealing the truth of your being."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes—the ego will dissolve. It is a borrowed mask, sustained by identification and habit. As awareness deepens and you simply witness, the false center loses energy and disappears on its own. Don’t fight it; relax into presence. What is real remains; only the fabricated sense of “I” melts away.
The make-believe ‘me’ fades when you stop clinging and just watch.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces inner conflict and anxiety.
- Frees energy for creativity and love.
- Brings natural humility and compassion in relationships.
