Why is there a contradiction between Sahajo's teachings on solitude and the praise of company in satsang?

In true satsang, even in a crowd, each individual sits alone, awakening to the profound depth of their own being.

— Osho
According to Osho, there is no contradiction: Sahajo’s ‘no companionship’ points to existential aloneness, while satsang means the company of one whose presence awakens that very aloneness. True satsang is not crowd or distraction; it’s a catalytic presence that deepens self-remembrance. Even among thousands, each sits alone—alert, silent, and rooted in his own being.

Satsang is being with someone who helps you feel your own true aloneness, not lose yourself in a crowd.
