What are the dangers of awakening the Kundalini and why should it be awakened?

To awaken the kundalini is to risk everything you know, for it is the death of your identity, but in this peril lies the birth of your true self, transforming you from coal into diamond, from river into ocean.

— Osho
According to Osho, awakening kundalini is perilous because it dissolves your existing identity—your relationships, emotions, and world—an inner death greater than physical death. Yet this ‘danger’ is the very path to life abundant: coal becoming diamond, river becoming ocean. By risking disappearance through meditation, you don’t lose; you expand into the supreme, trading narrow survival for total aliveness and realization of the divine.

It feels scary because the old “you” disappears, but that’s how you become bigger, freer, and more alive—like a river joining the ocean.
