definition
"Enlightenment is an inner transformation, not a hairstyle; do not chase appearances, but cultivate awareness and sincerity instead."
According to Osho, baldness has no connection with enlightenment; shaving your head or adopting any outer sign cannot produce inner awakening. He lampoons the rumor-making around baldness—first about sexuality, and now, absurdly, about spirituality. Enlightenment is an inner transformation, not a hairstyle. Don’t imitate symbols or chase appearances; cultivate awareness, sincerity, and understanding instead.
