According to Osho, so-called setbacks—slipping back into old personality layers—are not intrinsic to transformation but mere habits resurfacing. You may temporarily re-clothe yourself out of fear, yet awareness reveals the mask as separate from your being. Don’t turn this into an excuse; taste of Zen begins dissolving the layers. With patient witnessing, conditioning falls away, separation ends, and your inherent joy and oneness shine.
Setbacks aren’t the path; they’re just old habits—notice them without excuse and keep going, and your real, joyful self appears.
