What difference does it make to That if I escape from it or awaken?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"To That, whether you escape or awaken makes no difference; it remains the unchanging essence of everything and nothing, untouched by your experiences."
According to Osho, That—the whole/emptiness—is unaffected whether you ‘escape’ or ‘awaken.’ Nothingness and everythingness are the same uncuttable zero; add or subtract whatever you will, its completeness doesn’t change. Your state alters only your experience, not Reality. Awakening matters for you—clarity, freedom, peace—but to That, nothing is lost or gained.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces ego and anxiety about making a cosmic difference; focus on inner clarity.
- Encourages surrender and trust instead of trying to control Reality.
- Guides practice toward seeing clearly rather than fixing anything, bringing peace and responsibility.
