Core Insight:
According to Osho, if you can’t live without misery it’s because misery sustains your ego: it defines you, is familiar, and can be possessed and controlled. Bliss can’t be possessed; it dissolves the controller—when thinking stops, the ‘I’ vanishes. You cling to suffering because of hidden investments (attention, sympathy). Freedom comes only by risking ego-death—letting go of control and allowing bliss to possess you.
