Ask Osho!

Why is having biological children not pursued?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Real love transcends bloodlines; it is found in the care for all children, embracing a conscious community rather than clinging to possessive impulses."

According to Osho, creating biological children is unnecessary and even harmful today: the planet is overpopulated, and the desire for 'my own blood' is an egoic, possessive impulse. Real love is non-proprietary: care for the many children already here, adopt the hungry, and expand family beyond genetics to a conscious community, enjoying children without ownership.
There are already plenty of kids who need love, so care for them instead of making new ones just to have your own.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces strain on people and the planet by easing population and resource pressure.
- Trains the heart in non-possessive love, loosening ego around 'my blood.'
- Builds an inclusive community by adopting or supporting existing children.
