definition
"In the new commune, we will not cultivate the seeds of competition; instead, we will celebrate relaxation and humor, allowing our spirits to thrive in a meditative community."
According to Osho, the new commune won’t encourage competitive sport. He jokes about creating "Athletics Anonymous": whenever the urge to play golf or baseball arises, someone will come over and drink with you until the urge passes. Behind the humor lies a rejection of ego-driven competition in favor of relaxation, humor, and noncompetitive, meditative community.
No competitive sports—if you feel like playing, they’ll distract you kindly because the commune prefers peace over rivalry.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces ego and stress by dropping rivalry.
- Builds community through humor and companionship, not winning.
