Disillusionment

Q: What happens when I feel disillusioned after a lecture?

According to Osho, your disillusionment arises because his words shatter the mind-made image built from ideals and future fantasies. What breaks is the false self, not you. This shock is healthy: without ideals there is no comparison, condemnation, or ego. Let the image fall, stop asking 'how to be,' and relax into simple presence, being itself.

Q: Will I be disillusioned again?

According to Osho, disillusionment happens because you project your ideas onto him; since he is ‘empty’—without ego—he becomes a screen for your fantasies. He will lovingly shatter those projections, which hurts. If you cultivate meditative, nonprojective awareness and drop all labels and expectations, you see reality-as-it-is—his nothingness—and then disillusionment ends.
