What is the significance of the story of the two bulls fighting by the seashore?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The fight between the two bulls at the seashore represents the mind's inner conflict; only when this war ends can you return to your timeless center and experience your true oneness."

According to Osho, the two bulls fighting by the seashore symbolize the mind’s inner duality constantly at war; as long as this conflict persists, you cannot taste your intrinsic oneness. When the fight ceases, you ‘come home’ to your center—timeless, beyond calendars—where eternity is your nature. The story is complete; nothing more is needed.
The two bulls show your mind fighting itself; when the fight stops, you feel whole and peaceful, beyond time.
