definition
"A true master is simply an utterly ordinary enlightened person; enlightenment is the art of being nobody and discovering your intrinsic uniqueness in that effortless naturalness."
According to Osho, there is no difference: a true master is simply an utterly ordinary enlightened person. What seems extraordinary is our ignorance of ordinariness. Enlightenment is dropping the ego’s urge to be special, relaxing into what is, and discovering your intrinsic uniqueness without striving. Stop running after goals; be nobody; in that effortless naturalness, your inherent uniqueness shines, and “mastery” appears.
A master isn’t special; they just stopped trying to be special and live simply, so their natural uniqueness shows.
Why this matters practically
- Lowers anxiety by ending the race to be special.
- Encourages simple, present-moment living with less effort and pretense.
- Reveals your natural uniqueness and confidence without comparison.
