Ask Osho!

What are some sutras and jokes for the nourishment of the soul?

Synthesized from Source practice

"The soul is never poor; it is our unawareness that creates the illusion of poverty. Nourish the body with humane action, the mind with intelligent doubt, and awaken to the richness of your true essence."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the soul requires no nourishment—it's never poor. What’s poor is our unawareness of it. So he won’t offer sutras or jokes as 'soul-food.' Real poverty lies in the body (created by politics and waste) and the mind (crippled by belief). Nourish the body through humane action, the mind through intelligent doubt, and discover the soul by becoming aware.
Your soul isn’t hungry; wake up to it, feed real bodies, and keep your mind questioning.
Why this matters practically
- Stop chasing spiritual products; practice awareness/meditation instead.
- Act ethically: reduce waste and support those in need.
- Strengthen intelligence: question beliefs and value doubt.
