Was Mahavira’s nakedness a part of his character or of his vision?

Nakedness is not merely a character trait; it is the expression of a realized vision, allowing for direct attunement with the cosmos. To imitate it without understanding is to miss the essence of its profound significance.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
He was naked to better ‘talk’ with the universe, not to make a moral point, because clothes get in the way.
Why this matters practically
- Prioritize inner experience over external rules or appearances
- Notice how environment and clothing shape your sensitivity and energy
- Avoid imitation; choose practices (silence, nature, breath) that deepen real connection
