Will we still be able to recognize our friends after dissolving into universal consciousness while retaining individuality?

In the realm of universal consciousness, only those friendships rooted in love, gratitude, and freedom will endure, while the clinging ties of ego will dissolve into nothingness.

— Osho
According to Osho, recognition in universal consciousness is possible only where love is free, nonpossessive, and already timeless here-now. When forms and ego-identities dissolve, only the essential core remains; cling-based ties vanish first. Whatever relationship you have purified into gratitude and freedom will be felt and recognized; demanding, expectant bonds disappear. Thus only pure, free friendships survive recognition.

If your love is free and without clinging now, you’ll still recognize each other when everything else disappears.
