definition
"Marriage is your choice, but approach it with awareness and a willingness to learn; as for children, their impact extends beyond you, so tread carefully."
According to Osho, marriage is your choice—go ahead if you must, but do it with awareness, sobriety, and readiness to learn from mistakes; he won’t stop you. Children, however, are another matter: they implicate the whole world, so he cannot recommend having them. If you marry, he suggests marrying a sannyasin, making childlessness easier.
Get married if you want, but be wise; avoid having kids unless you’re truly ready, because it affects everyone.
