What is meant by the anāshrava person?

An anāshrava person observes the world like a mirror, reflecting images without allowing them to leave a trace; they are free from craving and untouched by the fleeting phenomena of life.

— Osho
According to Osho, an anāshrava person lives in a consciousness with no inflow: sights, sounds, and events are seen, yet nothing enters as craving, labels, or residue. Awareness functions like a mirror—images appear and disappear, leaving no dust—unlike a camera film that grasps impressions. Free of curiosity and grasping, such a person is unaffected by passing phenomena; doors may be open, yet nothing sticks within.

It’s like being a clean mirror: you see everything, but nothing sticks inside, so you stay calm.
