Core Insight:
According to Osho, the 'athato'—the decisive Now of spiritual inquiry—arrives the moment you drop the delusion of being ordinary and recognize your inherent divinity. No one is ordinary: God’s signature is within. When you turn back and see your true nature, egoic striving ends, humility dawns, and the doorway to awakening, samadhi, and Buddhahood opens—here, now.
It comes the instant you realize you’re already a diamond inside, not a pebble, and you look within.
