What happens when the feeling of merging with the divine fades and the ego returns?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"When the ego returns, do not fight it; simply be alert and return to the present, for in the here and now, the ego drops away naturally."
According to Osho, when the felt union fades and the ego returns, don’t make egolessness a goal or fight the ego. Enjoy and thank egoless moments; when ego appears, be simply alert and come back to the present. Expectation projects past into future and feeds ego. In pure hereness-now, ego drops naturally and egoless periods deepen.
When the special no-ego feeling goes away, don’t chase it—just notice, return to right now, and it comes back by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Stops the stress of chasing spiritual highs and reduces ego-feeding expectations.
- Trains moment-to-moment presence, where ego loosens and clarity grows.
- Builds a stable practice: gratitude when egolessness arises, alertness when ego returns.
