definition
"True seekers of the Self do not wear holiness as a uniform; their saintliness is formless and unadvertised, found in the naturalness of their awakening."
According to Osho, true seekers of the Self exist, but they rarely call themselves sadhus or wear holiness like a uniform. Most “sadhus” act a role born of doubt; saintliness is inner, formless, and unadvertised. Recognize the real by its naturalness and awakening, not robes or molds; honor essence over label—even in a householder.
Yes—real holy people don’t need costumes or titles; you feel their quiet truth rather than see it displayed.
Why this matters practically
- Judge less by appearances; look for integrity, compassion, and awareness.
- Drop your own labels and roles; act from direct understanding.
- Cultivate mindfulness to develop “deep eyes” that discern essence over show.
