According to Osho, the paradox is only apparent: you fear death not despite finding no relish in life, but because you still secretly hope life will yield its missing taste. Fear signals unfinished living and clinging to possibilities. When, through your own experience, it becomes clear that worldly life is inherently savorless (dukkha), the thread of hope snaps, fear of death dissolves, and the search turns inward.
You’re scared to die because a part of you still thinks life will get tasty; when you truly see it won’t, the fear drops and you turn within.
