According to Osho, after wandering through countless wombs, one earns human birth through the fragrance of compassion and other meritorious ripenings. Humanity is not a possession but a fragile opportunity: use it for meditation, wisdom (prajna), and deeper compassion toward liberation, or, through hardness and cruelty, you forfeit it and descend again as the karmic wheel turns.
After many animal lives, you become human because you were kind—now keep growing in kindness and awareness, or you’ll slip back.
