How is the soul related to nothingness?

Synthesized from Source definition

Core Insight:

According to Osho, the soul is not something related to nothingness—it is nothingness itself: formless, empty, vast space. The body is 'something'; the soul is the silent no-thing in which the ego has no foothold. Turning inward dissolves the imagined self; this 'death' births total presence—absence revealing the whole.

Your deepest self isn’t a thing to find—it’s open, empty space; when you stop clinging to “me,” fear fades and a quiet wholeness appears.

- Encourages meditation to face the fear of inner emptiness.
- Loosens ego-identity, reducing anxiety and conflict.
