According to Osho, innocence cannot be aware of itself; the very thought "I am innocent" is ego creeping in. True innocence is a silent, simple not-knowing, free of guilt and free of pride. Be alert, because ego hides in humility, love, and even "innocence." Let secondhand knowledge fade, don't brag about not-knowing, and rest in the childlike purity that Socrates called wisdom.
If you think or say you’re innocent, you’ve lost it—real innocence is just quietly not knowing, like a child who doesn’t make a big deal of it.
