What is the ultimate quest of a human being?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The ultimate quest of a human being is to transform the mere sense of 'I am' into the profound knowledge of 'Who am I?', awakening the divine within and embracing the ecstasy of conscious awareness."
According to Osho, the ultimate human quest is self-realization: to turn the bare sense 'I am' into living knowledge of 'Who am I?' Moving from the restless in-between state, we choose awareness over animal unconsciousness, ripening into conscious ecstasy. This journey transforms nature asleep into nature awakened (God within), ending inner conflict and returning us to peace through alert, witnessing consciousness.
Your highest goal is to find who you truly are by staying fully aware instead of numbing yourself.
