Can a soul go straight to liberation from nigod?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Consciousness must journey through the world, for it is the inevitable corridor that leads to liberation. There is no leap from dormancy to enlightenment; awakening requires the experience of life."
According to Osho, no soul leaps directly from nigod (the most dormant state) to moksha. Consciousness must 'unstupefy' through worldly experience—like passing from sleep through drowsiness to full waking. The transit may be brief or long across lifetimes, but the world is the inevitable corridor; only there is the gate to liberation.
No: like waking up, a soul must move from deep sleep through grogginess by living in the world before it can be fully free.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivates patience and trust in gradual growth instead of craving instant enlightenment.
- Affirms everyday life as the training ground; engagement, not escape, ripens awareness.
- Eases comparison and despair by honoring unique timing across souls.
