Is man responsible for self-ignorance?

You are not responsible for your self-ignorance, but you are wholly responsible for choosing to remain in it. In the light of consciousness, the choice to awaken is yours alone.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
You didn’t make the darkness, but now that the light is on, keeping your eyes closed is up to you.
Why this matters practically
- Practice awareness, meditation, and inquiry instead of blame or fatalism.
- Choose nonviolence and clarity over habitual reactions.
- Treat each decision as a step from animality toward full humanity.
