"Your national identity is merely an accident of birth; do not cling to it, but instead, live from the awareness that transcends flags and borders."
According to Osho, it’s already “too late” to fix your Britishness—this life’s passport came with your parents. His jest points deeper: national identity is an accident, not your essence. Notice the label, don’t cling to it, and live from awareness beyond flags and borders; humor loosens the grip of identification.
You can’t change where you were born, so laugh at the label and remember you’re more than a nationality.

- Encourages compassion and connection beyond tribal boundaries.
