Ask Osho!

What happens when I feel one with myself but my ego interferes?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"When you feel one with yourself, let laughter be your shield against the ego's rise; it is the joy that punctures the illusion and keeps you grounded in truth."

According to Osho, the moment ego arises after a glimpse of oneness you are certain to fall back in the mud — ego and mud are two sides of one coin. Don't seek encouragement; it feeds ego. Instead, catch the very first thought, 'I'm doing well,' and explode into a belly laugh. That alert laughter punctures the ego-wave; by not rising with it, the fall is avoided.
When the thought 'I’m doing great' pops up, that’s ego—spot it quickly and laugh so it loses power.
Why this matters practically
- Stops spiritual pride from derailing progress.
- Trains instant awareness at the first flicker of ego.
- Uses humor to stay humble, light, and clear.
