Core Insight:
According to Osho, life is realized as a divine play (lila) only when you awaken from spiritual sleep. While asleep, you mistake illusions—stories, ambitions, romances, possessions—for reality and cling to them. Awakening exposes the world as a vast drama, relaxing craving, fear, and ambition. Until then, even mere plays feel like life; with awareness, life is seen as play.
