Are there chances of enlightenment for someone with a sick body, indulgent mind, and a heart nearing yogi qualities?

outcome
"Enlightenment is not bound by the condition of the body or the mind; it arises when you disidentify from them and embrace the totality of your heart with unwavering awareness."
According to Osho, enlightenment is possible even with a sick body, an indulgent mind, and a half-yogi heart—provided you disidentify from the body, cultivate witnessing, and let intelligence end repetitive indulgence (“enough is enough”). A healthy body helps but isn’t essential; illness only demands extra awareness. And the heart must be total, not approximate: shift from half-measures to wholeheartedness, and transcend the body–mind by becoming a witness.
Even if you’re ill and like pleasures, you can wake up by watching everything calmly, stopping what you keep repeating, and giving your whole heart to it.
Why this matters practically
- Removes hopelessness about illness by focusing on witnessing, not perfect health.
- Uses intelligent observation to end compulsive indulgence.
- Calls for wholehearted commitment, bringing clarity and consistency to practice.
