What is a samyavadi?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True equality is not an ideology to be followed; it is a living awareness that sees all beings as fundamentally equal and longs for their welfare."
According to Osho, a samyavadi is one who sees all beings as fundamentally equal and longs for everyone’s welfare and flowering; in that compassionate sense even God, Buddha, Mahavira, Jesus—and any truly religious person—are ‘communists.’ Yet he rejects samyavada as ideology: any ‘ism’ enslaves the mind. True equality is a living awareness, not a creed.
A samyavadi treats everyone as equal and wants good for all, but without getting trapped in any rigid ‘ism.’
