According to Osho, man is not born with suffering in the womb; he is bathed in effortless well-being there. Suffering begins at birth, in the abrupt rupture from that silent, floating bliss—the shock of light, breath, and severed umbilical union. Our basic suffering is separation from original ease; life thereafter is an unconscious longing to re-find that lost harmony.
We start in a safe, quiet bliss in the womb, and when that safety is suddenly broken at birth, pain begins and we keep longing for that lost comfort.
