According to Osho, the ego functions as a blockade: it is the misery‑maker that builds walls, creates barriers, and cuts you off from existence. When ego dissolves into bliss and trust, you become a bridge—open, available, relating and rejoicing—so existence can flow to you and through you. Bridges arise from non‑situational bliss; blockades arise from situational, defensive unhappiness.
A bridge is you open and joyful so life can meet you; a blockade is your ego making walls that keep life out.
