What happened next to the two brothers who were each six inches tall and sixty years old?

Titles may elevate fools to power, but when the curtain falls, they are merely Changu and Mangu, revealing the transient nature of authority and the ego's theater.

— Osho
According to Osho, the two six‑inch, sixty‑year‑old brothers—Changu and Mangu—'went on' to become India’s prime ministers: Changu as Charan Singh and Mangu as Morarji Desai. It’s a satirical punchline: after power fades they revert to plain Changu‑Mangu, exposing how titles inflate fools and how authority is transient, ego-driven theater rather than real worth.

He jokes they became prime ministers, but when the power was gone, they were just the same silly guys again.
