Osho on Can one who has entered the fifth body no longer obtain a gross physical body after death?

Can one who has entered the fifth body no longer obtain a gross physical body after death?

Rebirth is not a prison of ignorance, but a conscious choice made by those who understand their purpose in guiding others.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, entering the fifth body does not bar future physical rebirth. Reincarnation depends on vasana—residual or consciously adopted intention. A liberated being, like a Tirthankara, may deliberately bind a vasana to assume a gross body again for the dharma of guiding others. Thus return is possible, chosen through purpose, not forced by ignorance.
Even a very advanced soul can choose to be born again by tying one clear intention—like a Tirthankara does to help others.
Why this matters practically
- Your intentions steer your destiny; cultivate conscious, compassionate aims.
- Spiritual progress doesn’t end service; you can return to uplift others.
- Freedom includes choice—coming back without bondage is possible.
