Does living moment-to-moment lead to awareness of interdependence?

outcome
"In the present moment, the ego dissolves, revealing the oneness of existence where all beings are but waves of the same ocean. Only in this egoless awareness can we truly grasp our interdependence and celebrate our unique individuality."
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.
