Is it true that one has to go through hell?

You don’t have to go through hell; you are already in it when you live unconsciously. The only exit is enlightenment, where awareness transforms your experience from anguish to creativity.

— Osho
According to Osho, you don’t have to go through hell—you’re already in it whenever you live unconsciously and function unintelligently. Hell is the neurotic, destructive state of unawareness pervading ordinary life. The only exit is enlightenment: awaken intelligence and awareness so creativity replaces destructiveness, ending inner anguish and transforming your experience of the world.

Hell isn’t somewhere else later; it’s how we live when we’re not aware, and waking up ends it.
