What are the implications of setting limits?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Limits are born from comparison, not from the essence of truth; respect the universality of knowing while honoring the unique ways it is expressed."
According to Osho, limits arise only when we compare expressions, not realizations. The same knowing is available to everyone, but a few—like Mahavira—articulate it so clearly that we set them at the center. Such limits reflect human valuation of communication, not the essence itself. Respect the universality of truth while acknowledging differing capacities to convey it.
Truth lives in everyone, but some people explain it better—don’t confuse better words with more truth.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces envy or inferiority: your inner potential remains whole even if your expression lags.
- Guides practice: develop clarity in sharing without inflating ego.
- Prevents idolizing personalities: value the message over the messenger.
