What does it mean to be a human being?

To be a human being is to rest in your unchanging essence, growing into the unique flower you are meant to be, unburdened by borrowed roles and masks. Embrace your authenticity, for therein lies your dignity, blessings, and ecstasy.

— Osho
According to Osho, to be a human being is to rest in your unchanging being — not in shifting thoughts or feelings, nor borrowed roles and masks. Like a rose cannot be a lotus, you can only be uniquely yourself. Rooted in this authenticity, you grow up (not merely old), becoming more deeply you, bringing dignity, blessings, and ecstasy.

Stop pretending and notice the quiet part of you that doesn’t change; live from there and just be yourself.
