According to Osho, the inner man (or inner woman) cannot be provoked or recognized in passing situations; it reveals itself only at the highest peak of awareness—the cosmic superconscious—where dualities unite and move in harmonious dance. Recognition is the orgasmic meeting of opposites, arising slowly as consciousness matures; before the journey’s end, you won’t truly meet it.
You can’t force your inner self to show up; it appears naturally when your awareness is fully ripe and your inner opposites harmonize.
