According to Osho, darkness is the primordial, ever-present reality: causeless, inexhaustible, deeper than transient light. It symbolizes nirvana—blowing out the candle of ego—into vast silence, humility, and egolessness. Our inherited fear tied to survival and crowd-dependence fades when we rest in it, revealing true aloneness and the deathless ground beyond appearances.
Darkness is the always-there quiet where the ego’s candle goes out, letting you relax into your real, peaceful self without needing others or chasing “light.”
