"Aloneness is not a curse; it is the gateway to freedom, innocence, and beauty when you disidentify from the conditioned mind and embrace your true nature."
According to Osho, your sense of separateness and loneliness when alone is not natural; it’s the internalized ‘crowd’—parents, priests, society—speaking through your conditioned mind, making you feel guilty and unworthy when you relax into your own nature. Witness the mind, disidentify from it, firmly silence it, and allow your being. Then aloneness turns from fear into freedom, innocence, and beauty.
That lonely, separate feeling comes from the borrowed voices in your head; notice them, tell them to be quiet, and relax into your own self—then being alone becomes peaceful and alive.
