According to Osho, questions about life after death are best held lightly; he echoes Tristan Bernard’s quip: he would choose heaven for the climate and hell for the company. With this humor, Osho sidesteps dogma, implying our afterlife notions mirror our preferences—and the wise response is playfulness rather than speculative certainty.
He jokes that if there’s an afterlife, heaven has nice weather and hell has fun people, reminding us not to cling to guesses about what we can’t know.
