What is the nature of boredom?

Boredom is not in life but in us; when we clear the dust of habit and awaken our sensitivity, we discover that each moment is a unique, vibrant gift.

— Osho
According to Osho, boredom is not in life but in us: a dull, insensitive mind that stops seeing the ceaseless newness of existence. When perception is clogged with habit - 'inner gramophone' - everything seems repetitive, mechanical, and empty. In truth each moment is unrepeated, alive. Clear the dust through awareness and sensitivity, and boredom disappears.

Life isn't boring; our sleepy eyes make it look the same - wake up and look freshly, and everything feels new.
