What is innocence and what is beauty?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Innocence is the art of living in the present, unburdened by past or future, where the merging of your small is-ness with the infinite reveals the true essence of beauty."
According to Osho, innocence is living in the present without the burden of past or future, free of conclusions—a state of not-knowing beyond mind. When this silent, childlike openness meets existence, the merger of your small is-ness with the infinite is experienced as beauty. Innocence is the door to beauty; knowledge, conclusions, and ego erect barriers that distort life’s immediacy.
Be like a child right now—without past ideas or future worries—and the fresh meeting with life feels like beauty.
