What causes wonder to die?

Wonder dies when we prioritize success and approval over the purity of our being; it is the willingness to embrace failure that keeps the door to the Divine open.

— Osho
According to Osho, wonder dies from the ego’s ambition for success and respect—the hunger for certificates, approval, and status. Pursuing efficiency, conformity, and obedience (as society and institutions demand) turns us mechanical, numbs sensitivity, and silences questions. Only a readiness to fail and be a 'nobody' safeguards wonder, the doorway to the Divine.

Wonder fades when we chase praise and success instead of staying curious and okay with being a nobody.
