According to Osho, every child is born a Buddha—innocent but unconscious—so growth inevitably forces a fall from that grace. Losing it creates the distance needed to recognize and value it, like a fish knowing the ocean only when beached. A realized Buddha unites innocence with awareness; awareness anchors it, so it cannot be lost. Meditation is the conscious return.
Babies are pure without knowing it, so they must forget it and later remember it with awareness; once you truly know, you can’t lose it.
