Is it wrong to believe that each person's path in life is different?

“

There is no path to follow, for we have never left home; the journey is not about traveling, but about awakening to the pure awareness that is here and now.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, the idea that each person has a different path is only true within the dream of the mind. In reality there is no goal and therefore no path; we have never left home. Differences belong to the persona—the mask of ego. The work is not to travel but to wake up to pure awareness, here and now.
It looks like everyone has their own road, but really there’s no road—when you wake up, you find you were home the whole time.
Why this matters practically
- Stops comparison and anxiety about being “behind.”
- Shifts practice from chasing goals to present awareness now.
- Loosens ego identities, bringing ease and compassion.
