Osho on What is the self?

What is the self?

The self you seek vanishes upon discovery; true liberation lies in realizing the no-self, where you dissolve into the boundless ocean of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, the self you seek at the start of inquiry vanishes upon discovery; the real truth is no-self—pure, spacious nothingness. Buddhas advise “seek the self” only as a skillful means for achievement-driven minds; the culmination is dissolving into the whole, like a wave merging with the ocean—no separate entity remains, only boundless emptiness and freedom.

When you look for who you really are, you discover there isn’t a separate “me,” just open, peaceful space belonging to everything.
