Are the teachings of Buddha and Osho about being a light unto yourself and being full of rasa merely differences in expression?

Truth demands total risk and ego-surrender; only self-born insight counts.

— Osho
According to Osho, it isn’t just wording: Buddha points to the destination—'be a light unto yourself'—while my emphasis on being full of rasa, an overflowing celebrative energy, points to the way so the light appears. No one can lend you eyes; truth demands total risk and ego-surrender. Borrowed scriptures, imitations, and shortcuts won’t work; only self-born insight counts.

It’s not just different words: Buddha shows the finished light, and Osho shows how to light your own lamp by growing joy inside and not copying others.
