What is a messiah and what does it mean to be one?

To be a messiah is to be nobody, a pure emptiness where the 'I' dissolves into the ocean of existence; it is an invitation to courageously embrace the divine presence within you.

— Osho
According to Osho, a messiah is not a special person or title at all; when the 'I' dissolves like a drop into the ocean, only godliness remains. To be one means to be nobody—pure emptiness beyond categories and duality. People crave labels and crucifixions; the real invitation is your own courageous dissolution into the same presence within you.

Being a messiah means having no ‘me’ left—just the same loving space that lives in everyone.
