What is good and what is bad?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Good is what brings you immediate inner rest and joy, while bad is the restless chase for more that only leads to pain."
According to Osho, good is whatever gives immediate inner rest and joy—a felt sense of “enough, here.” Bad is what keeps the mind restless, forever chasing “more, further,” and what causes you pain now. Use direct experience—cash, not credit: small compassionate acts uplift instantly; grasping desires agitate and empty you.
Good makes you peaceful and happy right now; bad makes your mind keep chasing more and hurts you now.
