Synthesized from Source
definition
"Enlightenment is the crystal-clear awakening to existence as it is, where you experience not a personal God but the absolute godliness that flows through total awareness and radical responsibility."
According to Osho, enlightenment is a crystal-clear awakening in which existence is seen as it is—life without a personal God—revealing not “God” but absolute godliness, a quality, the fragrance of awakened being. It flowers as total awareness and let-go, moving with nature, and brings radical responsibility: no repentance, no borrowed beliefs, only conscious, accountable action.
Enlightenment means waking up so fully that you see there’s no boss in the sky—only a living, loving quality inside—and you act naturally, alertly, and take full responsibility for what you do.
