Ask Osho!

What does it mean that all beings act according to their nature?

Synthesized from Source definition

"All beings act according to their nature; the wise witness and surrender to the cosmic flow, while the ignorant resist and suffer."

According to Osho, 'all beings act according to their nature' means the qualities of nature move everyone—wise and ignorant alike—through birth, youth, illness, and death. Stubborn ego cannot alter this cosmic order. The difference is only in attitude: the ignorant resist and suffer; the wise witness, accept, and surrender, becoming instruments of the divine, letting what is natural happen without inner conflict.
Life runs on its own rules; you can’t stop it, but you can stop fighting, watch it, and flow with it.
Why this matters practically
- Accept inevitable changes (aging, illness, endings) to reduce anxiety and drama.
- Practice witnessing and surrender to suffer less when challenges arise.
- Do your role without egoic stubbornness or blame, acting as an instrument.
