"Stop bargaining for a few extra years; you can’t escape the appointment with death. Use the reality of mortality to awaken to the quality of your awareness."
According to Osho, the longevity debate is beside the point: married men don’t really live longer—it only seems that way. Whether married or single, death is certain and has begun since birth. Stop bargaining for a few extra years; you can’t escape the appointment. Use the fact of death to awaken now—turn from quantity of years to quality of awareness, from avoidance to transcendence.
Marriage won’t save you from death, so focus on living awake and real right now instead of trying to add more years.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety about lifespan and social status by accepting death’s certainty.
- Shifts attention from adding years to deepening presence, awareness, and meaning today.
- Encourages choices guided by consciousness, not fear or social pressure (like marrying for security).
