What happens when we say yes to drop the ego?

outcome
"When we say yes to dropping the ego, we transform from defensive separation to mature acceptance, arriving at a boundless openness and trust."
According to Osho, when we say yes to drop the ego, once its job of giving us individuality is done, we stop confusing the ladder or boat for a home; we set it down, grow unburdened, and arrive at the other shore—mature acceptance replacing defensive separation. The first no creates form; the final yes lets it dissolve into openness and trust.
First you build yourself with a clear no; then you say a big yes, put the ego down, and life becomes lighter and whole.
Why this matters practically
- Use ego as a tool, not a prison—know when to set it down.
- Reduce inner conflict and defensiveness; relate with trust and ease.
- Time your growth: build boundaries early, then consciously relax them to move forward.
