Is it possible to return to the original state of being, like the Ganges returning to Gangotri or a tree becoming a seedling?

"You have never left your source; awakening is simply realizing that you are already the Buddha, here and now."
According to Osho, returning to the original state is not a journey but an awakening: you have never left your source. Like the Ganges ‘returning’ via rain or a tree becoming seed, this happens continually and unconsciously; only your thoughts dream of separation. Through simple wakefulness—seeing you are already the buddha, here and now—the river is ‘back’ at Gangotri.
You don’t need to go back to your true self—you never left it; just wake up and notice.
Why this matters practically
- Ends fruitless striving by shifting from doing to being aware
- Lets you live freely and fully even in ordinary tasks—Buddha in the shop
- Loosens the grip of habits and thoughts, bringing ease and presence
