Core Insight:
According to Osho, the Zen master’s non-reaction springs from inner emptiness—no repressed anger, jealousy or hurt—so insults find nothing to ignite and pass like wind. Repressive self-control only freezes anger; it piles up as sadness or rage until a small spark triggers disproportionate, compulsive explosion 'in spite of me.' True patience is flow and awareness; suppression breeds poison, displacement, and chronic readiness to attack.
