What is the relationship between man and the inner self?

Your inner self is not a distant destination to reach; it is the essence of your being, waiting to be recognized in the simplicity of the present moment.

— Osho
According to Osho, man and the inner self are not two; there is no gap to bridge, therefore no path is truly required. All ‘methods’ presuppose distance, but your essence is already present as your very being. Realization is not a journey but a recognition—relaxing into awareness here and now, letting seeking dissolve into simple presence.

There’s no distance between you and your true self—it’s already you; just notice it by being quietly aware.
