"Enlightened beings do not create bodies; they birth liberation, guiding souls toward the realm from which there is no return."
According to Osho, enlightened beings like Buddha or Mahavira would not consent to physical conception after enlightenment; they refuse to become causes of another’s entry into the cycle of birth and death. Their ‘parenthood’ shifts to birthing liberation—initiating seekers into sannyas, awakening a new life beyond body, sorrow, and return. They beget freedom, not bodies; disciples, not children—guiding souls toward the realm from which there is no return.
They don’t have babies after awakening; instead, they help people wake up and be free from coming back again.

- Choose actions that lessen suffering and karmic entanglement.
- Prioritize inner awakening over legacy or lineage.
- Practice ‘spiritual parenthood’ by mentoring and liberating, not merely reproducing.
