What is it inside us that feels a pull towards obliteration?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The ego, a mere collection of problems, yearns for its own obliteration, for in its dissolution lies the freedom of true existence beyond identity."
According to Osho, the very ‘you’ that you take yourself to be—an ego stitched together from problems—feels the pull toward obliteration. Because this manufactured persona is itself the problem, it unconsciously longs for its own extinction. Meditation answers that longing by dissolving the problem-made self; when the bundle of problems ends, the ‘you’ ends, revealing freedom beyond personal identity.
The pretend ‘me’ made of problems wants to disappear, and meditation helps that pretend ‘me’ melt away.
