Osho on Autobiography

Autobiography

Awakened souls, like Osho, see autobiographies as mere ego constructs, for in the light of self-knowledge, the person fades and life’s events become dreamlike, rendering the profound truth ineffable and beyond the grasp of words, inviting us instead to embrace the essence of living wisdom.

Osho's perspective on Autobiography

"An awakened being knows that the essence of truth cannot be captured in words; to write an autobiography is to confine the infinite to the finite."

When you truly know yourself, the 'me' story fades and words can’t hold it, so there’s nothing real to write.

He won’t write his life story because awakening erases the ‘me’ and words can’t hold it—better to help you awaken yourself.
