What is enlightenment?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Enlightenment is not about gaining something new; it is the awakening to the eternal truth of your own divine essence and the interconnectedness of all life."
According to Osho, enlightenment is not a divine revelation from a separate God, but a divine realization: becoming so full of light that you directly know your own center and its godliness. It is awakening to the non-separation of life—recognizing the same creative, living quality in yourself and in all beings. Nothing new is added; you simply stop sleeping and see what eternally is.
