"Buddhas and Christs do not come to save you; they come to remind you that life is a cosmic play—embrace joy and discover your own freedom."
According to Osho, Buddhas and Christs appear as playful manifestations in the cosmic leela—not to 'save' anyone, but to embody salvation. They don’t rescue you; their presence invites you to drop seriousness, stop creating misery, and taste bliss. If you understand and partake of them, you discover your own freedom. They come as living reminders: be joyful, be playful—only you can save yourself.
They’re like happy players who show you how to enjoy the game of life; they can’t play it for you—you find the joy yourself.
