According to Osho, the Gandhian principle of simplicity is not correct; principles themselves are never right. Simplicity is right only when it is natural and unforced, not practiced as a doctrine. Turning simplicity into a rule breeds hypocrisy and showmanship—palaces with reed mats—because ego clings to the image. Authentic simplicity arises from inner understanding, not ideology.
Don’t follow a rule to look simple—be real, and true simplicity will happen on its own.
