According to Osho, nigod is the primal realm of stupefied, unconscious souls—complete non-liberation and utter darkness—where there isn’t even awareness of bondage. From nigod, souls slowly rise into samsara (the dream-like middle) and ultimately to moksha (awakening). Nigod contains infinite, beginningless, dormant souls; it corresponds to deep sleep, whereas samsara is dreaming and moksha is full wakefulness.
Nigod is like being fast asleep in total darkness, not even knowing you’re tied up; life is the dream, and enlightenment is waking up.
