Can the capacity for egolessness be available to an ordinary person?

outcome
"True egolessness is found not in striving for greatness, but in embracing your ordinariness; in knowing you are nobody, you become the vessel for the divine fullness of existence."
According to Osho, egolessness is not only available to the ordinary—it is possible only for the truly ordinary: those who inwardly know they are nobody. The self-image of being extraordinary is the ego itself. When you accept complete ordinariness and stop climbing for superiority, striving ceases, suffering drops, and an empty, humble heart unexpectedly discovers the divine fullness—authentic extraordinariness.
Yes: when you admit you’re just a regular person and stop trying to be special, the loud ‘me’ quiets down and real peace appears.
Why this matters practically
- Accept ordinariness to loosen ego and reduce suffering.
- Quit comparison and competition; live more peacefully and authentically.
- Create inner emptiness where love, clarity, and the divine can arise.
