Core Insight:
According to Osho, enlightened persons generally do not have children after enlightenment. Procreation, he says, springs from neurosis, incompleteness, and the fear of death seeking continuity through offspring. When one is whole, there’s no urge to seek partners or extend oneself into the future. Historical cases (Buddha, Mahavira, Gurdjieff) had children only before awakening, and their offspring remained ordinary.
