According to Osho, belief in fate isn’t inherently bad; it depends on how you use it. The ignorant misuse fate to avoid responsibility and action, breeding poverty and slavery. The wise embrace fate as surrender of results: act totally, sow and tend, but renounce craving for fruits—no ego if success comes, no despair if it doesn’t.
Believing in fate is good if it helps you work hard without clinging to rewards, but bad if it makes you lazy.
