According to Osho, both the revolutionary claim that humans are naturally good and the reactionary claim that humans are naturally evil are prejudices. In truth, man is born innocent—a tabula rasa. When we nurture and protect this innocence (rather than imposing “culture”), authentic grace and true culture emerge from within, supported by meditation and awareness.
People aren’t born good or bad; they’re born innocent, and if we gently protect that innocence instead of forcing ideas, their natural goodness grows.
