What does it mean to be infallible?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To be infallible is to embrace your fallibility; in accepting your imperfections, you liberate yourself from the chains of guilt and the burden of impossible ideals."
According to Osho, to be infallible is to be “infallibly fallible”—to drop perfectionist ideals, goals and shoulds, accept human imperfection, and thus avoid the guilt and hypocrisy that arise from impossible standards. This relaxed acceptance ends inner schizophrenia, stops repression, and opens the way to simple sincerity and spontaneous rejoicing.
It means knowing you’re not perfect, quitting the “shoulds,” and being honest and relaxed instead of guilty or pretending.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces guilt and anxiety by ending the chase for impossible ideals.
- Encourages authenticity, preventing hypocrisy and repression.
- Frees energy for joy, creativity, and sane living.
