Is the longing to touch heights like another a form of comparison or an inferiority complex?

Do not seek to imitate another's heights; true fulfillment lies in nurturing your own unique seed and unfolding your authentic self.

— Osho
According to Osho, the longing to reach another’s heights is rooted in inferiority and comparison; it breeds imitation, which destroys your authenticity and deepens the very inferiority that drives it. Reverence is fine, but do not become a carbon copy. True fulfillment comes from loving, respecting, and unfolding your own unique seed—learning from others without abandoning your path.

Wanting to be like someone else means you feel small; instead, love yourself and grow into who only you can be.
