"You are already uniquely made; stop seeking to be special and simply rejoice in your natural uniqueness, for in that acceptance, the urge to become special dissolves."
According to Osho, stop seeking to be special by recognizing you already are uniquely made; striving assumes ordinariness and breeds egoic comparison. Turn inward, accept yourself as God’s one-of-a-kind expression, and rejoice; in that awareness the urge to become special dissolves. This isn’t superiority over others—everyone is special. Simply watch, accept, and let your natural uniqueness shine without effort.
You stop wanting to be special when you see you already are, so relax, look inside, and stop comparing yourself with others.
