Ask Osho!

Is the lotus of Buddhahood possible from the mud of politics?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The lotus of Buddhahood cannot bloom from the mud of politics; it requires the stillness of inner peace and the seeds of awareness, not the chaos of ego and power."

According to Osho, no—the lotus of Buddhahood cannot bloom from the mud of politics. Though a lotus arises from mud, it needs stillness and a seed; politics is nonstop upheaval, restlessness, and egoic intoxication where neither peace nor meditation can take root. Buddhahood requires inner quiet and sowing seeds of awareness, not the ceaseless scrambling and rivalry of power.
Enlightenment won’t grow in the noisy fight for power; it needs quiet and meditation.
Why this matters practically
- Choose inner stillness over power games to nurture awareness.
- Make daily time for meditation so the seed of insight can sprout.
- Avoid constantly agitating environments to protect your capacity to grow.
