What is the nature of your identity?

definition
"You are not a label, but a wandering consciousness; true freedom lies in embracing your no-thingness."
According to Osho, identity is fluid and ultimately empty: “a gypsy or nothing.” He rejects fixed labels, seeing himself as a wandering consciousness belonging to no category and, at the deepest, as no-thingness—pure openness beyond ego. This points to freedom, spontaneity, and living without clinging to any self-image or role.
He’s saying he has no fixed label—like a free traveler—and deep down he’s just open space, not a thing.
