"Real poetry is not a career; it is a way of living that arises naturally when the ego dissolves like a salt doll in the ocean."
According to Osho, abandoning astrology for poetry merely trades one nuisance for another; unless poetry flowers naturally, you’ll only become a rhymester. Real poetry is a way of living, not a career move. Rather than switch crafts, choose sannyas: dissolve the ego like a salt doll in the ocean. When the ‘one who suffers’ disappears, the problems and their predictions—and the need to perform—vanish.
Why this matters practically
- Stops chasing external fixes and invites inner transformation.
- Shifts focus from performance and validation to presence and witnessing.
- Reduces suffering by addressing its root: the egoic ‘me’.
