Core Insight:
According to Osho, individuality does not survive enlightenment, yet the journey to it is utterly individual. Like a river merging into the ocean, you go alone—no spouse, friend, sect, or crowd can accompany inner silence. At the peak of aloneness, the ‘I’ dissolves into oceanic being: either the river disappears (Buddhist) or becomes the ocean (Vedanta)—two expressions of the same reality.
