Osho on Who are you?

Who are you?

“

To know me, drop all concepts and become empty; only then will you see the boundless nothingness that we both reflect.

— Osho

Core Insight:
According to Osho, he is a mirror—an emptied presence without a fixed self. What you see in him depends entirely on you: ideas and prejudices color him; emptiness meets emptiness. To truly know him, drop all concepts and become empty; then two mirrors face each other, reflecting only boundless nothingness.
Osho says he’s like a mirror: whatever you think shows up, but if you stop bringing thoughts, there’s only clear, open space.
Why this matters practically
- Recognize and drop projections you place on people and situations
- Practice empty, non-judgmental presence in conversations
- Use this mirror-principle to deepen self-inquiry and humility
