Have I become enlightened, and if not, when will I be?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Enlightenment is not a goal to be achieved; it is the natural state that emerges when desire and ego dissolve in the light of choiceless awareness."
According to Osho, enlightenment isn’t a goal or prize; it’s your intrinsic nature remembered when desire and ego subside. Asking “Am I, when will I?” reveals the very greed that prevents it. Do not pursue; simply watch the subtle games of ambition. In clear, choiceless awareness the ego-cockroach dies, seeking ends, and what you always are shines.
Stop chasing enlightenment; quietly notice and drop the wanting and ego, and your already-present light appears.
Why this matters practically
- Ends the stressful chase for future attainment, bringing ease in the present.
- Builds awareness by observing desires and ego patterns as they arise.
- Encourages living here-now, where clarity and natural wisdom surface.
