Osho on How did mankind originally lose awareness of its Buddha nature?

How did mankind originally lose awareness of its Buddha nature?

The moment you accept authority and borrowed knowledge, you lose touch with your Buddha nature; only through direct seeing can you reclaim your original awareness.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
We lost our natural innocence when we followed rules and ideas instead of directly seeing for ourselves.
Why this matters practically
- Notice how 'don't' triggers craving; pause and watch rather than obeying or rebelling.
- Swap second-hand beliefs for firsthand experience; test reality directly.
- Practice moment-to-moment witnessing to dissolve conditioning and reveal natural clarity.
