Is there significance in skipping the fourth sutra?

The sutras are not rigid commandments but living devices, inviting laughter and presence, reminding us that awareness matters more than counting.

— Osho
According to Osho, skipping the fourth sutra was intentional and playful: he “saved it for you.” The point isn’t numerology or rigid sequence, but responsiveness, humor, and presence. By bending order he loosens seriousness, invites laughter, and shows that sutras are living devices tailored to the moment, not commandments, so awareness matters more than counting.

He skipped it on purpose as a playful way to give it to you, showing that staying relaxed and aware matters more than following strict numbers.
