According to Osho, when anxiety takes over completely you become trapped in the mind’s garbage and the ego’s payoffs; your borrowed identities rule you. Then your inner seed of awakening cannot sprout—it remains a dormant potential, and you miss the benediction of existence. Yet the seed never dies: with loving attention, right nourishment, and consciousness, the anxiety loosens and the flower of being inevitably opens.
When worry runs everything, your inner plant just sleeps—it won’t die, but it won’t bloom until you give it calm, loving attention.
