Why don't you write your own experiences—your autobiography?

definition
"An autobiography is merely an ego-graphy; once the soul is known, the 'I' dissolves, and the true essence of life cannot be captured in words."
According to Osho, an autobiography is an ego-graphy; once the soul is known the 'I' dissolves, facts lose meaning, and the page becomes blank. The realized cannot compress the living experience into words without falsifying it, nor would telling his story help; instead he speaks only to lead seekers to their own realization, which alone convinces.
He won’t write his life story because awakening erases the ‘me’ and words can’t hold it—better to help you awaken yourself.
Why this matters practically
- Shift focus from others’ stories to your own direct experience.
- Practice meditation and inquiry instead of collecting spiritual anecdotes.
- Loosen attachment to personal history by seeing the limits of language and ego.
