What is the meaning of the parable about the greatest miracle in the world?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The greatest miracle is to sit utterly alone with oneself, discovering that true aloneness is a positive fullness, overflowing with contentment and unconditional bliss."

According to Osho, the ‘parable’ isn’t a story but a simple fact: the greatest miracle is to sit utterly alone with oneself—free of the need for others, labels, crowds, or ideologies. Aloneness (presence of oneself) is positive fullness, unlike loneliness (absence of the other). When inner holes are healed, one rests in indefinable presence—overflowing, content, and unconditionally blissful.
It means the biggest miracle is being so at home with yourself that you don’t need anyone or anything to feel whole.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces dependency on relationships, crowds, and ideologies.
- Turns solitude into a source of energy, clarity, and joy.
- Helps you face the fear of emptiness and discover self-sufficient presence.
