According to Osho, devotion and awareness are complementary routes to the same disappearance of the ego. Awareness (the meditative, knowing path) purifies step by step, surrendering the 'I' only at the end, whereas devotion surrenders first—an immediate dissolution demanding even greater courage. Both require a fearless heart; devotion strikes the root, awareness trims the branches. When the ego dies—early or late—the divine is realized.
Devotion drops the ‘me’ in one brave jump, while awareness lets it go slowly—both reach the same truth.
