According to Osho, awakening is your birthright and the very heart of spiritual practice: it happens only when you accept total responsibility for your life, risk mistakes, and drop borrowed disciplines and imitations. When others dictate the way, you stay asleep; when you choose freely and learn through trial and error, a unique, firsthand truth flowers—beyond methods, rules, and secondhand words.
Waking up means stop letting others lead you, try for yourself, learn from mistakes, and discover your own living truth.
