What happens to someone who reaches samadhi?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"In true samadhi, the ego dissolves, and what remains is silent, choiceless awareness—an impersonal witnessing that knows no return."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, in true samadhi no 'somebody' arrives—the ego, mind, and personal soul dissolve. What many call satori is only a reversible glimpse; blissful yet habitual, it allows a return. Samadhi is beyond that: a point of no return into impersonal Brahman, where silent, choiceless awareness prevails and there is witnessing without a center, not an experience owned by anyone.
No person reaches samadhi; the ‘I’ vanishes and only quiet, choiceless awareness remains—unlike a temporary bliss you can leave and return to.
Why this matters practically
- Stops chasing peak experiences; practice non-attachment to bliss.
- Train steady witnessing in and out of meditation.
- Loosens ego-identity, easing anxiety and compulsion.
