How would Patanjali address the neurosis of the modern mind?

“

Dissolve the ego, and the neurosis disappears; remember, you are not the center, but a wave in the vast ocean of existence.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, Patanjali would treat the modern mind’s neurosis exactly as he would ancient man’s: by uprooting the ego, the basic neurosis. He would challenge the false 'I am the center' and guide you to drop the I, remember you’re a wave in the ocean, and return to naturalness. Technology changes, the mind doesn’t; dissolve ego and neurosis disappears.
Stop clinging to the loud 'me, me, me' and feel part of everything, and your mind calms down.
Why this matters practically
- Lowers anxiety and tension by releasing the need to be the center.
- Improves relationships through humility and openness instead of guarded ego.
- Helps you live simply and peacefully despite modern gadgets and pressures.
