What grief or attachment can exist for a realized soul who sees oneness everywhere?

“

For the realized soul, grief and attachment dissolve in the understanding of oneness, for sorrow arises only from the illusion of separation. When you know the essence of all beings, you are free from fear, loss, and clinging.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, for the realized one who knows the Self as the essence in all beings and things, grief and attachment cannot arise. Sorrow is born of separation and possessiveness; when the root is known, the play of names and forms is seen as one. Holding the root, he is free of the effects of fear, loss, craving, and clinging.
Like seeing all waves are the same ocean: when you know you and everything are one, you don’t cling to a wave or cry when it changes.
Why this matters practically
- Shift focus from collecting facts to knowing yourself directly. - Practice witnessing to dissolve identification and reduce clinging. - Respond to life with equanimity, easing fear, jealousy, and anxiety.
