Is life itself suffering, or are the awakened ones exaggerating?

Awakening reveals life as it is, and if it sounds extreme, the distortion lies not in their clarity but in our own misunderstanding.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Sages aren’t being dramatic; our foggy minds make clear truths sound extreme.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from doubting the teacher to examining your own assumptions and reactions.
- Practice awareness/meditation to move beyond mental extremes and see reality more clearly.
- Treat teachings as mirrors for self-understanding rather than as exaggerated claims.
