According to Osho, a conventional "saint" cannot be a rascal - by definition he is flat, renunciatory, one-dimensional, anti-life. But a rascal can become a saint: existence is multidimensional and compassionate, transforming his wild, colorful energies into awakened playfulness. Exemplars like Chuang Tzu, Hotei, Bodhidharma, and Gurdjieff defy pious norms; they did not renounce life but lived it totally, revealing holiness that includes laughter, paradox, and celebration.
A strict saint can’t be naughty, but a naughty person can wake up and turn that playful energy into wisdom and love.
