Ask Osho!

Will the clearing process allow the image to rise anew, or will the work vanish as I vanish?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"When your work is a calling, not a profession, the clearing of the ego allows your creativity to bloom, transforming you into a humble instrument through which love flows."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, it depends: if your work is merely a profession sustained by ego, it will fade as the ego dissolves. But if it is a vocation—a calling rooted in deeper sources—clearing the ego releases vast energy and your creativity blooms. You become a humble instrument; creation flows quietly through you. Then the 'image' rises anew, purer, as love, not as personal achievement.
If your work is just a job, it goes when your ego goes; if it’s your true calling, dropping ego makes it blossom and life creates through you.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you discern whether to let go or deepen into your work.
- Frees energy by reducing ego, improving focus and creativity.
- Cultivates humility and gratitude, replacing noisy pride with quiet flow.
