What is the purpose of existence?

Existence has no purpose; it is the ego that invents purpose, while the awakened simply live in the present, allowing life to unfold without the burden of chasing a future.

— Osho
According to Osho, existence has no purpose; purpose is an egoic invention of the unenlightened mind. The awakened simply live—present, playful, doerless—letting life happen moment to moment. Actions may look the same, but their inner quality changes: no future to chase, no self to uphold. Dropping purpose ends the pushing—and with it, agony.

Life isn’t a project to finish; just be here now and enjoy each moment—like sipping tea—without trying to become someone.
