Is there a being-ache that one can experience?

outcome
"Being is wholeness and health; the ache belongs only to the mind and the ego. When you transcend these barriers, you dissolve into the ocean of your true nature, where freedom and unity reign."
According to Osho, there is no such thing as a 'being-ache.' Being is wholeness, health—beyond disease, sickness, and death. Ache belongs to the head, heart, and egoic separation. Transcending mind and even the subtle divisions of the heart, you drop all barriers; the dewdrop slips into the ocean—an 'oceanic' freedom where boundaries vanish, imprisonment ends, and your real nature shines.
Your true self doesn’t hurt; only thoughts and emotions do—when you drop them, you feel as free and whole as the ocean.
Why this matters practically
- Stops mislabeling spiritual growth as pain; points to ego/mind as the source of suffering.
- Encourages practices (witnessing, meditation, letting go) that dissolve inner walls.
- Reveals freedom, joy, and fearlessness beyond body–mind–heart conditioning.
