definition
"To honor what is natural is to embrace authenticity; cutting away the original blurs the beauty of our differences."
According to Osho, he doesn’t shave because he honors what is natural and original: hair grows by itself, and cutting it to fit fashions or borrowed ideals denies authenticity. He sees beard and mustache as nature’s masculine signature; removing them blurs vital differences and weakens attraction. He prefers non-interference—letting what grows grow, and what falls fall.
I keep my beard because nature put it there, and being yourself is better than changing to please fashion.
