What is the significance of being 'all light' and the name 'Lord of the Night'?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True enlightenment embraces both the brilliance of light and the depth of darkness, for it is in the dance of these paradoxes that we discover the totality of existence."
According to Osho, being 'all light' points to pure awareness, while 'Lord of the Night' honors the fertile darkness of mystery, the unconscious and silence. He holds both poles to show that truth is paradoxical; illumination doesn't abolish night, it masters it. Such 'consistent inconsistencies' are deliberate devices to unhook the mind from rigid opposites and invite a spacious, total, non-dual seeing.
Real wisdom shines like light yet feels at home in the dark, and Osho uses playful contradictions to free you from either-or thinking.
