Is man responsible for self-ignorance?

You are not responsible for your self-ignorance, but you are wholly responsible for choosing to remain in it. In the light of consciousness, the choice to awaken is yours alone.

— Osho
According to Osho, once consciousness has evolved to the human stage, light is available; if we remain in darkness, it is our choice. We did not create self-ignorance, but we alone can end it—and not doing so is our responsibility. Animals lack this freedom; humans are “condemned to choose,” and thus accountable.

You didn’t make the darkness, but now that the light is on, keeping your eyes closed is up to you.
