What is the nature of perception from your perspective?

definition
"True perception recognizes that everyone is already a Buddha, and the labels we attach are mere illusions; in essence, we are all playing games of hiding and revealing our true nature."
According to Osho, true perception sees everyone as already a Buddha; the mind’s labels—‘not a Buddha’ or ‘I am a Buddha’—are equally ignorant pretenses. From his eyes, people are Buddhas playing games of hiding and showing, yet their essence remains untouched. Real understanding drops thinking and becomes simply, ordinarily present. Thus, perception is a relaxed, non-judgmental seeing-through to intrinsic awakeness.
He sees everyone as already awake and good inside, and all our pretending is just make-believe.
Why this matters practically
- Stop chasing spiritual identities; relax into being simply yourself.
- Reduce self-judgment and pretense; live with authenticity and ease.
- Relate to others with compassion by seeing their innate goodness.
