What remains of realized beings when they call out to God?

Synthesized from Source definition

"When realization dawns, the separate self dissolves, and what remains is not a devotee calling to God, but the very essence of God calling through the emptiness of being."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, once realization happens, no separate 'devotee' remains to call. The river has become the ocean; the flute is hollow. What sounds is not a person pleading to God, but God’s own call resounding through that emptied being—nonduality’s roar summoning others from darkness. The individual caller is gone; only the One calls.
When someone is truly enlightened, they aren’t a separate person calling God anymore—like a hollow flute, God plays through them, so it’s God calling, not them.
Why this matters practically
- Ends confusion about prayer after realization: the call shifts from seeker to the Divine itself.
- Encourages humility and surrender—become an open, egoless channel.
- Reframes service and teaching as God’s expression, reducing pride and strain.
