Core Insight:
According to Osho, a 'crystallized self' is not a personal self at all but the clear, vast awareness that remains when the ego dissolves: being, God, no-I. A 'strong ego' only seems solid; it is tiny, hollow, and deceptive, a compensatory 'I-amness' that hides self-ignorance and blocks enlightenment. Lose the 'I' and true, impersonal presence crystallizes.
