definition
"Watch the fruits of your inner voices: the ego brings tension and conflict, while your true nature offers ease and bliss. Trust in the outcomes, and let your natural self guide you to the divine."
According to Osho, distinguish by watching the fruits of each inner voice through alert, trial-and-error observation. Ego’s voice invariably ends in tension, conflict, and misery; nature’s voice yields ease, harmony, contentment, silence, bliss. Keep responsibility with yourself, note outcomes, and gradually certainty arises; then the natural guides effortlessly, unfolding the divine.
Notice what happens after you follow a feeling—if you end up upset it was ego, if you feel peaceful and happy it was your true nature—and keep learning from these results.
