Ask Osho!

Can I achieve enlightenment given my lifestyle and experiences?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Enlightenment is not hindered by your lifestyle; even in deep sleep, a small flame of awareness can lead you to truth. Stay inwardly alert and avoid false guidance, and you will find that enlightenment is not only possible, but near."

According to Osho, enlightenment isn’t hindered by your current lifestyle: deep sleep is close to samadhi if a small flame of awareness stays awake. Enjoy your cravings consciously; they don’t block truth. The real obstacles are hallucinating enlightenment and following misguided teachers. Be one‑pointed, stay inwardly alert—even while resting—and avoid false guidance. Do this, and your enlightenment is not only possible, it’s near.
Yes—you can wake up inside even if you nap and enjoy treats; just keep a tiny light of awareness on and don’t fool yourself or follow the wrong people.
