Is there a connection between the qualities of the invented self and the real self?

According to Osho, there is no genuine connection between the invented self (ego) and the real self: the ego is neither a shadow nor a distortion—it is a social fabrication built through praise and enforced obedience to silence your inner voice. The real self is indestructible and needs no approval. Liberation begins by disobeying conditioning and listening to the heart’s own voice.
