Can a person who is not egoless or enlightened encounter and welcome death consciously?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"To meet death consciously, you need not be enlightened; simply resting in love and meditation allows you to witness the end without fear."
According to Osho, one needn’t be fully egoless or enlightened to meet death consciously; love and meditation already rehearse dying. By resting in the inner witness—beyond birth and time—you can watch the body and mind end without fear. For those who have not loved or meditated, death seems new and terrifying.
You don’t have to be a saint—if you practice love and quiet watching inside, you can greet death calmly like something you already know.
Why this matters practically
- Practice daily witnessing in meditation to loosen fear of loss and change.
- Live and love fully now; it prepares the heart to relax at death.
- Remember you are the watcher, not the aging body or shifting mind.
