What is the intended meaning of the worship described in the Sannyas Upanishad?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True worship is the recognition of the indivisible consciousness within, where the worshipper and the worshipped are one; it is the profound acknowledgment that "I am That."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the ‘worship’ of the Sannyas Upanishad is Atma-puja: saluting the indivisible consciousness that is both worshipper and worshipped. It is not ego glorification but the nondual recognition, “I am That.” Namaste embodies this—joining two into One. True devotion seeks the One Source, in whom all things arise, rather than transient objects.
It means bowing to the same one light inside everyone, where the one who prays and the one prayed to are actually the same.
Why this matters practically
- Dissolves ego and the feeling of separation in relationships.
- Shifts prayer from asking for things to resting in the Source.
- Turns daily greetings into a remembrance of shared consciousness.
