What is the greatest mistake of life?

Dare to err greatly, for one true awakening justifies thousands of failures; mistakes are not deviations, but the very path of life.

— Osho
According to Osho, the “greatest mistake” is his playful admission of giving sannyas—embracing countless possible errors—because life and God work through abundant risk. Better to err greatly than to play small; one true awakening justifies thousands of failures. So dare, trust, and learn through mistakes; they are the path, not deviations.

Make big tries and accept mistakes, because even one real success can make all the failures worth it.
