Ask Osho!

What is the certainty of not returning after an enlightened death and being dissolved into the cosmos?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Enlightenment is the end of rebirth; at death, the enlightened dissolve into the cosmos as a luminous presence, while the unenlightened return to the cycle of darkness."

When someone is truly awake inside, their light spreads everywhere at death and they don’t come back; if not, they go into another body.
Why this matters practically
- Encourages firsthand experience and meditation over belief.
- Reframes death, easing fear by seeing it as merging with the whole.
- Clarifies why awakening matters: it ends the cycle of return.
