How to avoid believing one has attained Buddhahood due to the ego?

In true awakening, there is no sense of attainment, no 'I' to boast; only the silent simplicity of being.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
If a voice inside says you’ve become a Buddha, don’t buy it; true awakening feels like quiet nobody-ness, so keep watching and stay humble.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents spiritual complacency and backsliding caused by ego’s flattery.
- Encourages ongoing mindfulness, humility, and honest self-checking.
- Provides a clear test: if an 'I' claims achievement or reactivity persists, keep practicing.
