Ask Osho!

Is this world insane?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The world is insane not by birth, but by conditioning; true sanity lies in reclaiming your natural, joyous individuality."

According to Osho, yes—the world has been largely insane, not by birth but by conditioning. Priests, politicians, parents, and schools prune our naturalness, forcing conformity that breeds guilt or hypocrisy and suspects happiness. True sanity is reclaiming one’s natural, joyous individuality. His work invites deconditioning through love, respect, and trust, so we stop serving the sad crowd and live as blissful, responsible individuals.
People aren’t born crazy; pressure and rules make them that way—be your happy, natural self instead.

- Helps you notice and refuse guilt-based conformity.
