"To seek the presidency is to play a game of superficiality, where image and gimmickry reign; true power lies not in titles, but in the transformation of the self."
According to Osho, you can become president only by playing the worldly game—projecting stupidity, image and gimmickry—because politics thrives on superficiality; but a seeker should not pursue such ambition. His satire exposes power's absurdity and redirects you: drop the news-fueled obsession, laugh at egoic cravings, and choose inner transformation over titles; an ashram isn't a training ground for presidents.
He jokes that you could if you act silly and play to appearances, but reminds true seekers to skip power games and work on themselves.
