Core Insight:
According to Osho, the ego cannot end by deliberate effort—the asker is the ego itself. Ego dissolves in two ways: by sinking into unconsciousness (a frozen, intoxication-like relief) where you can’t know it’s gone, or by rising into witnessing awareness, where the doer ceases and you know ego is no more. True cessation is transcendence through awareness, not suppression.
