Core Insight:
According to Osho, positive thoughts cannot cause enlightenment, because enlightenment is beyond all dualities—positive and negative are both functions of mind. Positivity can bring happiness, but not bliss. First drop the negative (misery), then drop the positive (pleasure), and in the remaining silence—nothingness—you realize, 'I am not the mind.' That transcendence, not positive thinking, is enlightenment.
