According to Osho, rituals are futile only when they are empty performances—acts done from ego, duty, or imitation without the heart. The act itself is neutral; its truth is decided from within. When love, presence, and an irresistible inner urge move you, the same act becomes prayer, celebration, and living communion—not ritualism.
A ritual works only if your heart truly feels it; doing it just to copy or obey is empty.
