"Awakening itself bears fruit; it is not the vows or identities that matter, but the depth of awareness that brings immediate harvest."
According to Osho, neither the vowed nor the non‑vowed has any priority; only awakening itself bears fruit. Vows, identities, or outer disciplines are incidental; when awareness flowers, the harvest is immediate, regardless of label. The speed depends on the depth and clarity of awakening, not on belonging to a category. Therefore, invest in awakening, not in identities.
It doesn’t matter if you take vows or not; only waking up inside brings the results.
