Ask Osho!

Does dropping negative judgment also require dropping positive acknowledgment?

Synthesized from Source definition

"To drop judgment is to abandon the entire habit of evaluation, for true liberation lies in total acceptance of each unique being's irreplaceable expression."

According to Osho, dropping judgment means abandoning both negative condemnation and positive approval; the entire habit of evaluating others is a subtle will to dominate. Real help comes not from labeling but from awakening consciousness. Practice total acceptance and allow each person’s unique being to unfold, recognizing existence needs their irreplaceable expression. Because moral labels shift with time and culture, judging is misguided; awareness and acceptance liberate.
Yes—stop calling people good or bad; just be aware, accept them as they are, and help by encouraging awareness, not by handing out verdicts.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces control and conflict in relationships.
- Fosters compassion and deeper presence.
- Supports authentic growth by focusing on awareness, not approval.
