Ask Osho!

Is the attainment of supreme nonduality possible while living in the body?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Supreme nonduality is not a distant dream; it is realized when you understand that you are in the body but not of it, freeing yourself from the chains of identification."

According to Osho, supreme nonduality is realizable while living in the body because the body itself is not bondage—identification with it is. Freedom arises when you see, ‘I am in the body and mind but not them.’ Drop attachment, take responsibility for bondage, and the rope of fixation snaps; nondual awareness shines regardless of bodily existence.
Your body is like clothes; if you stop thinking you are the clothes, you can be completely free while still wearing them.
Why this matters practically
- Stops blaming body or mind; focuses on ending identification.
- Enables deep practice in ordinary life without escape or withdrawal.
- Puts responsibility for liberation in your own awareness, moment to moment.
