definition
"Your awareness and choice transform even death into beauty; an enlightened being creates freedom, not fate, at life’s end."
According to Osho, neither the circumstances nor the timing of death determine anything about an enlightened being; consciousness does. Enlightenment transforms even death into beauty, because the decisive factor is your awareness and choice. You are responsible for the meaning you give to every moment—moon or mud, rose or thorns. Thus, an awakened presence creates freedom, not fate, at life’s end.
It’s not how or when you die that matters, but how awake and responsible you are inside.
