definition
"Enlightenment is not a destination but a playful dance with awareness; drop your seriousness and return to the innocence of a child."
According to Osho, enlightenment doesn’t require a master or a solemn method; it happens when you “fool around” with awareness so totally that you go beyond the mind—back to childlike innocence. His playful reply hints: drop seriousness, experiment with seeing, and let yourself go too far into no‑self. Then the idea dissolves—and you are.
Playfully watch yourself until the busy mind drops and you return to childlike innocence—no guru needed.
