Core Insight:
According to Osho, when you embrace solitude and enjoy silence, you step outside the crowd’s conditioning and its misery, become alert and self-reliant, and discover values firsthand in the present. Initial fear arises of becoming a stranger and losing contacts, but what falls away are superficial ties; in their place, deeper, intelligent companionship and authentic growth appear. Solitude matures you into a lion, not a sheep.
