According to Osho, yes: living utterly in the present—free of past memory and future desire—removes the ego’s two supports. In the now, the ego cannot stand, and the One (Brahman) is revealed: life as a single continuum where all beings are waves of the same ocean. From this egoless seeing, awareness of interdependence naturally arises, along with non-egoic, unique individuality.
When you stop clinging to before or after and just be here now, the little ‘me’ fades and you feel we’re all parts of one big life.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
Osho, does living moment-to-moment begin the awareness of interdependence?
You have heard of Baital Pachisi (the Vetala tales). You would never suppose it could be a teaching for the wise—yet this land has made unique experiments. It has produced books that can be read on many levels, with layer upon layer of meaning—two, three, four, five meanings running parallel like five roads side by side. Thus whoever you are, there is a way. A small child enjoys it; the supreme knower enjoys it. The seeker finds the path; the arrived recognizes the destination. For one who is neither, it is a diversion—that too is something, a little entertainment. The first story goes like this. Emperor Vikramaditya was in court when a fakir arrived. As custom had it, people came in the morning to offer gifts. The fakir offered a wild-looking fruit. The emperor smiled—why come so far to offer a jungle fruit? But a fakir has nothing else, so…
Osho, when he is conscious of this act, can he not also be conscious of the fear that someone is watching me?
The old man finished the hole, went inside, and said to his son, “Come in.” Taking the boy along, unlocking one lock after another, he reached the inner chambers of the mansion. There was a large wardrobe with priceless clothes and things. He opened it and said to his son, “Get in, and bring out whatever you like.” The boy went in—he couldn’t see anything at all; where was the question of choosing? He had no idea what was going to happen. As soon as he was inside the wardrobe, the father shut the doors, locked them, left the key hanging there, and shouted at the top of his voice, “Thief!” Creating a commotion throughout the house, the father slipped out and ran away. The son was locked inside the wardrobe. The whole household woke up; lanterns appeared, candles were lit, servants were searching, the owner was searching. The son…
A friend has asked, Osho, you say that if someone surrenders himself in every way to the divine—lets himself be absorbed, accepts it—then he attains the divine. Can worldly things also be obtained in the same way?
Don’t try that; you’ll get nothing! To get worldly things you have to employ means, you have to labor, you have to strive, you have to be restless, you have to be mad. The more mad a person is, the more successful he is in the world. A very eminent psychologist has just made a statement. He said that if the minds of the world’s great politicians were tested, they would be found deranged, because their success would be impossible if they were not utterly mad. That psychologist said that the reason for England’s great politician Winston Churchill’s success was that, in childhood, an astrologer told him—and then he got fixated on the notion—that he would not live beyond forty-five. From the day this idea took hold—“I will die at forty-five”—he plunged into competition like a madman. Others, who assumed they would live at least to seventy or eighty, were…
What is patanjali's methodology or your technique of becoming a self-contained individual? In this connection kindly explain how such a spiritual man literally lives from moment to moment. How to cultivate this habit of living from moment to moment in practical, everyday life?
"In this connection kindly explain how such a spiritual man literally lives from moment to moment." He does not live; he allows God to live through him. Then one is spiritual. A worldly man lives his life; a spiritual man does not live his life -- he allows God to live through him. He becomes a vehicle. He says, "Come. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Come, pass through me, live through me, be through me. I am empty and ready. I am just like a hollow bamboo. Come, make a flute out of me; sing a song out of me. Sing your silence or your song, but celebrate through me. I am ready and waiting for you, and available." A spiritual man is a great availability. He says to God, "Whenever you are willing, I am ready. I will wait, and I will keep patience. There is no…
And sometimes unawares it happens. Seeing a beautiful sunset and you are not your past. Just the present is so much, the intensity of the present is such, that without your knowing you have slipped out of the past. You have not a single problem in that moment because you don't have any mind in that moment. Mind means the past because mind means the memory. Seeing a beautiful sunset you become so absorbed in the reality of the moment, in the truth of the moment, that there is no observer and no observed. The observer becomes the observed. It is not that you are seeing the sunset, you are the sunset. That merging, that melting, that dissolution into the moment, and you are healed.
