According to Osho, being twice-born (dvija) is a second, inner birth: the awakening of consciousness beyond body, mind and social identity. The first birth is biological; the second arises through meditation, love, and surrender—dying to the ego and discovering the witnessing soul. It isn’t a ritual or caste title but an existential transformation; practices like kirtan simply prepare the heart for this rebirth.
You’re born once as a body, and a second time as awareness when the ego drops and your true self wakes up.
