Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Enlightenment is not a collective achievement; it is the individual’s choice to embrace responsibility and transform their own consciousness."
According to Osho, with man the mechanical, collective evolution of nature ends; consciousness has appeared, and from here growth is a conscious, individual revolution. Humanity as a whole will not automatically attain enlightenment; only individuals, by choosing and assuming responsibility, can become buddhas. Man stands at the threshold where freedom, uncertainty, and anxiety arrive with choice; your choices shape your destiny and spiritual flowering.
Why this matters practically

- Helps manage anxiety by owning your freedom to choose.
