According to Osho, when indulgence exhausts itself and its pleasures turn into sorrow, dispassion naturally arises. This disenchantment becomes the true doorway to awakening: one is ready for yoga, meditation, and going beyond the world. Indulgence serves as the staircase; once climbed, craving drops, awareness flowers, and nonduality is glimpsed—the shift from Charvaka’s enjoyment to Ashtavakra’s transcendence.
After you’ve tasted every treat and find it makes you sick, you stop chasing treats and start looking for real food—that’s when awakening begins.
