Ask Osho!

How can we know whether we are in tune with nature or against it?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Your inner feeling is the true barometer of alignment with nature; when joy flows through you, you are in harmony, but when tension arises, you are moving against the current of existence."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, your own inner feeling is the sure barometer: when you are restless, tense and suffering, you’re moving against nature; when you feel light, joyous, and your being wants to sing or dance, you’re aligned. Joy is the touchstone, not time or belief. Society conditions us to prefer seriousness; reclaim childlike playfulness and direct experience to realign—there’s no need to ask anyone else.
If your heart feels light and wants to play, you’re flowing with nature; if it feels tight and hurts, you’re pushing against it.
Why this matters practically
- Use inner joy/unease as a daily compass for choices and relationships.
- Do what awakens aliveness (dance, kirtan, play) to realign quickly.
- Notice and resist social pressure toward gloom; protect childlike spontaneity.
