What is a bodhisattva?

A bodhisattva is not a belief but a state of being where the mind falls away, and in the silence of the herenow, compassion flows effortlessly as love for all.

— Osho
According to Osho, a bodhisattva is not a person or belief but a state of being beyond mind: when desire, sex, and future drop, the freed life-energy naturally overflows as karuna—compassion. In this herenow silence, one’s cup cannot contain the energy, so it pours out as spontaneous love for all. It’s an existential experience, a ‘nonsense’ reality tasted, not explained.

When cravings quiet down and the mind is still, your energy turns into kindness that naturally helps everyone—that’s a bodhisattva.
