Can discernment change as one matures?

As you mature, discernment evolves from borrowed judgments into a spontaneous clarity that reflects your true presence, uniting intelligence with innocence.

— Osho
According to Osho, discernment is not fixed; it deepens as awareness matures. Early it is borrowed from society and mind’s conditioning; with meditation and lived experience, it becomes an inner seeing. What begins as judgmental right–wrong transforms into choiceless clarity—spontaneous, compassionate, and flexible—reflecting presence rather than rules. Maturity unifies intelligence with innocence, allowing truer decisions.

Yes—your sense of what’s wise changes as you grow, moving from following rules to seeing clearly from within.
