According to Osho, the fear of losing oneself is an inherited, ego-based terror of going out of control—mistaken as madness. In truth, surrender is a divine ‘breakthrough,’ like learning to float: stop struggling, enter the water, and trust. Begin in safe spaces, then jump totally. What disappears is the false boundary; what remains is freedom, sanity, and aliveness beyond the mind’s control.
Your mind fears losing control, but if you relax and fully let go, you won’t drown—you’ll float and feel free.
