According to Osho, when you flower into bliss amid unhappy family, your joy pricks their misery like a thorn: jealousy, hostility, and accusations of madness arise, and they try to pull you back for your own good. This is the arithmetic of the unhappy. Keep your inner lamp lit—stay silent, centered, and do not rejoin their misery.
If you’re happy while your family is sad, they may get upset and try to make you sad too—so keep your joy safe and steady inside.
