Ask Osho!

How can one come to know that neither he nor anybody else dies?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"To know that neither you nor anyone else dies, you must die consciously, embracing the moment fully and witnessing the beautiful nothingness that life ultimately reveals."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, you can know that neither you nor anyone truly dies only by dying consciously: live totally now and, through deep meditation, allow the felt 'death' to happen and remain a witnessing awareness. This direct knowing—not borrowed belief—reveals death as the innermost nothingness of life, a beautiful crescendo you can watch without being it. Develop knowing; when the fear arises, let go and witness.
Be very still, live fully, and in deep meditation let the feeling of dying happen—you’ll notice you are the watcher who doesn’t die.
Why this matters practically
- Dissolves fear of death through firsthand realization, not belief.
- Frees you to live fully in the present instead of worrying.
- Cultivates witnessing awareness that brings peace in crises and at life’s end.
