Absence Quote by Osho
“The ego is a puzzle. It is something like darkness which you can see, which you can feel, which can obstruct your way but which does not exist. It has no positivity. It is simply an absence, an absence of light. The ego does not exist how can you surrender it? The ego is only an absence of awareness.”
