According to Osho, the “self” has two layers: the ego-personality, which dies with the body, and the witnessing consciousness, which is unborn and deathless. For the unenlightened, lingering desires and mental impressions seek new embodiment—what traditions call rebirth. For the realized, identification with mind ends, desires dissolve, and the cycle of birth and death ceases.
The pretend ‘me’ ends at death, but the quiet awareness behind it doesn’t; if cravings remain it returns in a new life, if not, you are free.
