According to Osho, existence is a neutral, mirrorlike suchness; suffering, hell, and persecution are projections of a fevered mind. The awakened do not remove non-existent snakes; they bring a lamp of awareness so you can see the rope. When projection drops through meditation and right seeing, reality reveals no inherent misery - only your belief created it.
Life is like a mirror: if your mind is scared, you see snakes, but with a clear mind and light you see it is only a rope.
