What does it mean that the supreme sadhu can become a supreme asādhu in a single moment, and how does this relate to the concept of not going back in existence?

definition
"In the nondual state, the oscillation between saint and sinner dissolves, revealing that existence is not about going back, but about embracing the effortless being that transcends all polarities."
According to Osho, saint and sinner are polarities within maya; whichever side you practice grows tired while the suppressed opposite grows potent, so even a supreme sadhu can flip into a supreme asādhu in an instant—and vice versa. Only the nondual state transcends both; there, no opposite remains, so there is no 'going back' in existence—oscillation ends in effortless being.
If you cling to being “good,” the hidden “bad” gathers strength and can suddenly take over; go beyond both so there’s nothing to fall back into.
Why this matters practically
- Stop moralistic repression; practice awareness of both poles.
- Aim for nondual witnessing rather than identity with roles.
- Reduces relapse cycles and inner conflict.
