What happens when I am ready to experience pain?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"True readiness to experience pain arises not from the ego's desire for specialness, but from an egoless humility that allows the old self to die, making way for a fresh, innocent presence."
According to Osho, if you think you’re “ready” to face pain, that’s the ego seeking specialness. True readiness is egoless humility that doesn’t announce itself; the master will know first. He isn’t interested in minor reforms but in the utter disappearance of the ego; when the old “you” dies, a fresh, innocent presence is born, and transformation replaces suffering.
Wanting pain to prove you’re ready is ego; when the ego quiets, real change happens and hurt turns into freshness.
