According to Osho, man is not a finished entity but a 'perhaps'—pure possibility, a trembling openness between beast and Buddha. Unlike animals, we are undetermined, aware we are yet ignorant of who we are, burdened and blessed with choice, risk, and death-awareness. Man’s essence is growth: transforming potential into actuality—turning the seed into a flower—through conscious exploration, so freedom ripens into knowing.
We’re like seeds that can choose how to grow, and by becoming more aware we can blossom into who we truly are.
