Core Insight:
According to Osho, when you’re too serious, the ego takes over: you posture as ‘special,’ hoard knowledge, refuse “I don’t know,” and close yourself to surprise. Joy and ego can’t coexist, so you stop laughing, mixing, and enjoying people; life turns stiff and joyless. Drop the holier‑than‑thou stance, meet and laugh with others, and childlike openness turns small moments into splendor.
