What happened next to the two brothers who were each six inches tall and sixty years old?

“

Titles may elevate fools to power, but when the curtain falls, they are merely Changu and Mangu, revealing the transient nature of authority and the ego's theater.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the two six‑inch, sixty‑year‑old brothers—Changu and Mangu—'went on' to become India’s prime ministers: Changu as Charan Singh and Mangu as Morarji Desai. It’s a satirical punchline: after power fades they revert to plain Changu‑Mangu, exposing how titles inflate fools and how authority is transient, ego-driven theater rather than real worth.
He jokes they became prime ministers, but when the power was gone, they were just the same silly guys again.
Why this matters practically
- See through titles; character matters more than position.
- Remember power and fame are temporary; stay humble.
- Don’t confuse politeness or deference with wisdom.
