Can a simple person without knowledge attain God, and if so, how?

True simplicity arises not from ignorance, but from the conscious innocence of a mature heart that has witnessed the complexities of life and chosen to transcend them.

— Osho
According to Osho, God is realized not by the naive simplicity of ignorance but by a second, conscious innocence: being childlike after full maturity. One must pass through life, see and understand the inner poisons—anger, jealousy, violence—and, with awareness, drop their complexity. Then simplicity becomes authentic, and such childlikeness is worthy of the Kingdom.

Yes—but not by staying ignorantly simple like a child; grow up, notice what’s inside you, and then become simple again from understanding.
