What is the concept of a beginning?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Existence is a continuum, beginningless and endless; every start is merely a point in an infinite journey, and every end opens to what lies beyond."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the very concept of a beginning is logically impossible. Any start presupposes prior conditions, so it is already preceded by existence; likewise, every end implies a beyond. Boundaries exist only where two meet. Therefore existence is beginningless and endless; nothing can arise from absolute nothing, or it would not be nothing.
Everything comes from something before it, so there’s no first start or final stop—just an endless flow.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces anxiety about origins and endings; fosters trust in an ongoing process.
- Encourages seeing change as continuity, easing fear of death, loss, or failure.
- Cultivates humility in inquiry: every answer reveals a further beyond.
