How does the internal world of experience relate to external reality?

definition
"The inner and outer are not two realities but one undivided Tao; in love and awareness, their boundary dissolves, revealing a single flowing whole."
According to Osho, the inner and outer are not two realities but one undivided Tao; the mind’s concepts slice unity into parts—‘internal’ versus ‘external’—for convenience, not truth. In love and awareness, their boundary dissolves, revealing a single flowing whole. Wisdom is dropping divisions and living in harmony with this oneness, like two notes resonating in the same music.
Inside you and the world outside are the same big flow; your mind just pretends they’re separate.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces inner conflict by ending the fight with “out there.”
- Deepens love and empathy, seeing others as part of you.
- Helps decisions arise naturally by aligning with the flow (Tao).
