Ask Osho!

Why do you emphasize the dead so much?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True transformation requires the complete funeral of power-hunger and identity, leaving no remnants to resurrect the ego."

According to Osho, he 'beats the dead' to ensure that the ego—especially the politician’s lust for position—dies utterly and cannot resurrect at the slightest temptation. Satire is his scalpel: by exposing residual cravings, he prevents half-deaths that revive. True transformation demands the complete funeral of power-hunger and identity, leaving no shreds to return.
He jokes about the ‘dead’ so old ego and power-hunger are truly finished and can’t jump back to life.
Why this matters practically
- Spot and finish leftover ego-drives that wake up with small rewards.
- Use humor and awareness to expose and dissolve attachment to status.
- Let habits and identities die completely to live with clarity and freedom.
