Is untruth indispensable for society to live?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Untruth is the oil that keeps the machinery of society running, but to truly thrive, we must transform our consciousness and let truth be the foundation of a new world."
According to Osho, as society presently exists, untruth is indispensable to its survival: it lubricates institutions built on fear, ambition, and mutual exploitation. Truth would shatter this machinery. The way out is not to mend the lie, but to transform consciousness—through awareness and meditation—so a new society can arise where truth, not falsehood, becomes the organizing principle.
Why this matters practically
- Notice where social roles push you to lie or pretend.
- Practice awareness and meditation to live more authentically.
- Focus on transforming consciousness rather than patching broken systems.
