What happens when one experiences nirvana while in the body?

When nirvana blossoms within the body, the experiencer becomes a radiant presence, like a tree that cannot smell its own perfume, yet those who are receptive may catch a whiff of this divine fragrance.

— Osho
According to Osho, when nirvana flowers in a living body, the experiencer becomes undivided: there is no observer left to know it. Like a tree that cannot smell its own perfume, the awakened one simply radiates. Those nearby may ‘smell’ this fragrance if they are receptive and waiting, not begging or seeking—an emperor recognizing the empire within.

Awakening makes you so whole you can’t step back to see it; you just shine, and others feel it if they quietly open to it.
