According to Osho, in Zen, 'coming and going'—birth and death, gains and losses—belong to the periphery of body, mind, and ego; the unmoving center is beyond them. By preparing through meditation and welcoming the 'going' of death with total yes, one remains perfectly conscious and can awaken, because death and enlightenment are alike: both are a jump into luminous nothingness.
Life’s comings and goings are like waves; if you trust the deep ocean inside, even the biggest wave—death—reveals you are the ocean, not the wave.
