Core Insight:
According to Osho, one should not believe in ‘the good’ or virtues; one should know. Belief manufactured beforehand breeds hypocrisy—the mind says stealing is bad while behavior still steals—because borrowed ideals don’t fit living reality. When belief is dropped and understanding arises through direct awareness, authentic goodness emerges spontaneously, and conduct aligns naturally, without coercion or self-mutilating conformity.
