Core Insight:
According to Osho, enlightened beings like Buddha or Mahavira would not consent to physical conception after enlightenment; they refuse to become causes of another’s entry into the cycle of birth and death. Their ‘parenthood’ shifts to birthing liberation—initiating seekers into sannyas, awakening a new life beyond body, sorrow, and return. They beget freedom, not bodies; disciples, not children—guiding souls toward the realm from which there is no return.
