Is all play-acting without cause?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"The enlightened radiate love without cause, while we approach them burdened by our own karmic chains. In their presence, all play-acting dissolves into the divine spontaneity of being."
According to Osho, all play-acting—the divine spontaneity of a being like Krishna—is causeless; his being and actions arise from no motive. Yet in the manifest world nothing is accidental: our love, enmity, or even death at his hands unfold from our karmic chain. Relationship with the enlightened is one-way: they are love itself; we approach by our causes, they simply radiate.
A sage shines like the sun for no reason, but we live in cause-and-effect, so meeting him isn’t random—it’s the next step in our story.
Why this matters practically
- Live responsibly: your choices have consequences; nothing is accidental.
- Seek presence, not reciprocity: let go of expectations from the enlightened.
- Open to grace: by approaching, you naturally receive what is always radiating.
