outcome
"To feel ordinary, remember that you are not a dewdrop of talent but part of the vast ocean of existence; in recognizing your smallness, true simplicity and love can blossom."
According to Osho, ordinariness isn't attained but remembered: the whole existence is utterly ordinary. Talented people feel special because they identify with a tiny "dewdrop" of skill; this creates ego and isolation. Reconnect with the vast ocean: stay aware, alert, in tune with life's totality. Don't "achieve" humility; understand your smallness and melt into the whole. Then simplicity, love, and true genius flower without feeling special.
See that your talent is just one small wave in a huge ocean; drop the ego, stay aware like a child, and being ordinary happens by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Eases ego-driven anxiety and loneliness by reconnecting you with life and others.
- Simplifies choices and reduces pressure to perform or appear special.
