definition
"Surrender to me is not an invitation to my ego, but a call to dissolve your little self into the vastness of universal consciousness."
According to Osho, 'surrender to me' is not personal ego but an invitation to yield to an ego-free, all-inclusive consciousness. He calls his 'ego' so vast it includes people, nature, time—therefore it is empty of the separate 'I.' Like Krishna, Buddha, and Jesus, the 'me' points to the universal, not a personality. Surrender dissolves the little self into that spacious wholeness.
He means you’re not surrendering to a bossy person, but to the big loving awareness that includes everything and has no separate ‘I’.
