Osho on What is ambition?

What is ambition?

Ambition is the greatest poison, a relentless urge that suffocates your true self and replaces love with competition, leaving no room for joy or celebration.

— Osho
According to Osho, ambition is the greatest poison: the urge to be ahead of others, built on an induced inferiority complex and constant comparison. It breeds greed, violence, competitiveness and war, leaving no space for love—the soil in which your real being flowers. Conditioned from childhood to 'be somebody,' we betray our innate uniqueness; ambition destroys peace, joy, and celebration, opposing your true life and destiny.

Ambition means trying to beat others, which kills love and makes you forget you’re already unique and enough.
