outcome
"Eating after realization is not attachment; it is a natural expression of the divine flow, where body and soul dance in harmony with existence. True life is sustained not by rigid vows but by the spontaneity of being."
According to Osho, eating after realization is not attachment but part of the divine flow—body and soul, creator and creation, are one. The realized person neither chooses nor resists; they eat when hunger appears and don’t when it doesn’t. Life isn’t sustained by vows but by spontaneity; sometimes hunger vanishes for a while, yet forcing fasting or feasting is egoic and anti-life.
Eat when you’re hungry and don’t when you’re not; that’s God moving, not attachment.
