Core Insight:
According to Osho, egomania is a 'cancer of the soul' that breeds tension, misery, and insanity; there is only self and no love. True self-love is the opposite: the 'I' dissolves into simple amness, bringing relaxation, silence, and bliss. Use the fruits as your test: if life grows tight and miserable, it's ego; if you become tranquil, happy, and whole, it's enlightened self-love, which enables authentic love for others.
