According to Osho, there is no such thing as mechanical goodness; goodness cannot be produced by conditioning, fear, reward, or obedience. What passes as 'mechanical goodness' is merely unconscious, crowd-pleasing behavior—manageable, trained responses like Pavlovian conditioning. True goodness is born of awareness; evil is unconsciousness. Society prefers mechanical compliance, but real virtue demands transforming darkness into consciousness, as exemplified by rebels like Jesus, Buddha, and Lao Tzu.
Doing good because you're scared, bribed, or trained—like a dog hearing a bell—isn't real goodness; real goodness comes when you are awake and choose from understanding.
