Are there many separate souls or is there one universal soul?

Multiplicity is merely the illusion of the vehicles we inhabit; in truth, we are all expressions of one universal soul.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
It’s like one electricity lighting many bulbs: we seem separate because of our bodies and inner patterns, but when those patterns end, only the one light remains.
Why this matters practically
- Softens ego and separation, fostering compassion.
- Eases fear of death by seeing continuity beyond the body.
- Guides practice: dissolve desires/conditioning (meditation) to realize unity.
