According to Osho, light and darkness are not opposing forces but the same continuum: when light enters, darkness doesn’t vanish—it becomes luminous, transformed into light itself. Like hot and cold, their difference is relative to our capacity to perceive. Enlightenment is this transformation. Habituated to darkness, we initially oscillate toward and away from light until we can absorb more and rest in it.
Light doesn’t fight darkness; it turns darkness into light, and with practice we can stay with that light without running back to old habits.
