What happens when one realizes their inner Buddha?

Realizing your inner Buddha is not an attainment but an uncovering; when the ego drops, you become a fresh, playful presence that radiates a magnetic fire, unsettling the world around you.

— Osho
According to Osho, realizing your inner Buddha isn’t an attainment but a simple uncovering: the ‘gorilla’—ego and conditioned animality—drops, and the God within is discovered. In that freedom you feel fresh, playful, unburdened; laughter dissolves the dust. Your very presence becomes a magnetic, consuming fire that unsettles society. Stay alert—don’t let new ‘gorillas’ enter again.

Finding your inner Buddha is like taking off a heavy costume: your noisy ego falls away, you feel light and happy, and you must keep watch so it doesn’t return.
