Core Insight:
According to Osho, the ego is a false, socially manufactured identity—the opposite of your real self—built from names, roles, beliefs, and ambitions. It exploits you with desires to be on top, creating frustration and violence. Only you can know your true being; dismantling the ego and dropping conditioning reveals your original innocence, beginning a new pilgrimage toward peace, silence, bliss, and authentic, eternal life.
