Is the pose of simplicity merely a kind of somnambulism?

True simplicity is not a pose but an awakening; it is the clarity of being fully aware of your emotions, where negativity dissolves and bliss emerges effortlessly.

— Osho
According to Osho, the pose of simplicity is unconscious acting—more complex than honest complexity. Suppressing anger while displaying sweetness creates layered self-deception, like sleepwalking. True simplicity arises from being as you are and staying alert to emotions; awareness exposes suffering, so negativity falls away on its own and consciousness naturally moves toward bliss.

Don’t fake being calm or kind; notice what you really feel, and it will pass, leaving real peace.
