Core Insight:
According to Osho, your first responsibility is to yourself: only a person who is peaceful and blissful can share peace and bliss. Trying to appease anguished parents while you remain unfulfilled just spreads more misery—two beggars with empty bowls. Parents’ pain often comes from their own rigidity, not your search. Choose your own awakening; then your joy, not your obedience, becomes the real gift to them.
