Core Insight:
According to Osho, what adults label as 'mischief' is often a child's intelligent refusal to be conditioned—a courageous stand for truth, freedom and individuality. Real mischief is blind obedience; questioning is clarity. Protecting such 'mischief' preserves innocence, reason and spine, enabling one to confront lies, resist collective egos like nationalism, and grow into an authentic, responsible human being.
