definition
"In the gap between lives, there is no desire, only the silent momentum of the last wish, guiding the soul without thought or dreaming."
According to Osho, in the gap between lives no desire is possible; desire arises only while dying, and the last desire of one life becomes the first impulse of the next. Thus, during those ‘seven hundred years’ there was no wish to be reborn; only the latent momentum of the last desire worked automatically, with no time, thought, or dreaming—merely bare consciousness.
No—there’s no wanting between lives; only the last wish at death carries you automatically into the next birth.
Why this matters practically
- Keep your last thoughts and desires wholesome through mindful living.
- Practice meditation to witness and reduce craving, shaping a wiser death.
- Use awareness at sleep/waking as training for a conscious death that ends rebirth.
