Do the Jats who live in villages experience bliss?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Bliss is not found in the simplicity of village life or the complexity of city life; it arises only from a transformed consciousness."
According to Osho, no: villagers—including Jats—are not inherently blissful. Happiness isn’t tied to place, poverty, huts, bullock carts, or khadi. City and village minds are the same; only the props differ. We idealize “elsewhere” because we don’t see others’ suffering. Bliss arises from a transformed consciousness, not from geography, lifestyle, or simplicity.
Bliss doesn’t come from living in a village or a city; it depends on your state of mind, which is the same everywhere.
Why this matters practically
- Stops the fantasy that a different place or lifestyle will fix your misery.
- Points you toward inner work and awareness rather than outer changes.
- Reduces envy and comparison by seeing that everyone suffers in different forms.
