Osho on Is it possible to feel both invisible and rooted in the earth?

Is it possible to feel both invisible and rooted in the earth?

“

In the stillness of non-doing, the ego dissolves, and in that emptiness, the true rootedness of your being emerges. Embrace the darkness, for it is the gateway to your deepest ground.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Core Insight:
According to Osho, yes—it’s not only possible but essential: invisibility belongs to the dissolving ego, while rootedness belongs to your true being. When you stop doing, the ego evaporates and you may feel blank or afraid—the ‘dark night’ gap. If you allow and accept this non-doing without clinging, the deeper groundedness of being reveals itself; both movements unfold together.
When your busy ‘me’ melts away you may feel like nothing, but if you trust that emptiness, your real self shows up steady and rooted.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you stay calm when meditation or rest feels empty or scary.
- Encourages letting go of compulsive doing and trusting the quiet gap.
- Clarifies the difference between ego’s buzz and the being’s grounded peace.
