Ask Osho!

What do you mean by alertness and preparedness?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Alertness is the clear recognition of our incompleteness, while preparedness is the willingness to seek the light and strive for wholeness without the illusion of perfection."

According to Osho, alertness and preparedness mean recognizing that life is a journey born of our present imperfection, seeing our limitations clearly, and letting that clarity ignite the will to grow. Alertness is the lucid awareness of our incompleteness; preparedness is the readiness to seek light, to move, to practice, to strive toward wholeness—without pretending we’re already perfect.
Notice you’re not finished yet, and get ready to learn and act to become whole—like turning on a light in a dark room.
