What are the teachings of Paramahansa Murphyji Maharaj and his version of the Golden Rule?

Never do unto others as you would like them to do unto you—tastes differ, and life’s unpredictability invites us to embrace humor and nonattachment.

— Osho
According to Osho, 'Paramahansa Murphyji Maharaj' is a playful name for Murphy’s Law: life’s built-in perversity, uncertainty, and human foibles. His Golden Rule: 'Never do unto others as you would like them to do unto you—tastes differ.' His sutras mock expectation: shortcuts lengthen, errors persist, time is scarce, desire envies, and things go wrong—inviting alertness, humor, and nonattachment.

Murphyji says don’t assume others want what you want, and expect mix-ups so you stay relaxed and aware.
