"Survival is not a product of virtue but of understanding the real, reproducible factors at play; to attribute safety to goodness is merely superstition."
According to Osho, attributing survival in a deadly situation to the presence of a virtuous soul is an imagined cause, not a proven one. Nothing is accidental, but true causes must withstand inquiry and experiment, not our moral projections. Without rigorous testing, linking safety to someone's goodness is superstition; we should seek the real, reproducible factors behind outcomes.
People surviving near a ‘good’ person isn’t magic—the real causes need to be found and tested.
