Is nothing all we can rely on?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"You need not rely on anything—not even on nothing; in awakening, all and nothing are but two names for your own being."
According to Osho, you need not rely on anything—not even on “nothing.” In awakening, ‘all’ and ‘nothing’ are two names for the same reality: your own being. Positively, “I am all”; negatively, “I am nothing.” This understanding flowers in silent no-mind. Turn within, drop reliance, and discover the Buddha-nature where dependence and duality dissolve.
You don’t have to lean on anything—“nothing” or “something”—because the real you already includes everything; sit quietly and feel it.
