What happens after total awakening?

"After total awakening, there is no 'after'—the journey dissolves into the timeless, where inquiry becomes meaningless and the mind's questions fall silent."
According to Osho, asking what happens after total awakening is itself misguided: the absolute is beginningless and endless, so before-and-after questions don't apply. Awakening, like unconsciousness, is an ultimate fact; beyond it, inquiry dissolves into meaninglessness. At the 'far end' light only thickens without edge. Thus, after total awakening nothing 'happens' - time-bound narratives cease, and the mind's questioning falls silent.
