What is the meaning of mystery?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Mystery is life’s unfathomable playfulness, inviting you to embrace the unknown with wonder and innocence rather than the need to control or explain."

According to Osho, mystery is life’s unfathomable playfulness—what remains beyond explanation and calculation. It exposes our urge to control and credit causes, while reality turns on open doors, misunderstandings, and 'false alarms.' Rather than defining it, he makes you laugh so the mind relaxes; in that gap you sense wonder, innocence, and readiness to meet whatever comes.
Mystery means life can’t be fully figured out; relax, laugh, and stay open to surprises.
