"Real spirituality is not about seeking miracles, but about the great death of the ego, where true divinity reveals itself in the emptiness of desire."
According to Osho, miracles have no spiritual significance; they are shows that gratify craving and inflate ego. Seek them elsewhere. Real spirituality is the ‘great death’: dismantling illusions, dropping desire, and becoming inwardly empty. Only when the appetite for rewards and even for God ends does the Divine reveal itself. The authentic ‘miracle’ is ego’s dissolution ripening into samadhi, not spectacular phenomena.
Miracles are like magic tricks that keep you wanting; real spirituality is quietly letting go of all wanting until nothing is left but peace.
