According to Osho, idiocy is not a defect but the natural state of the unenlightened mind: unconscious, borrowed, mechanical, ruled by ego and fear. There are only two kinds of people—awake or asleep. Idiocy is sleep: living by secondhand ideas, reacting rather than seeing. Intelligence flowers when awareness dawns.
Idiocy means you’re sleepwalking through life until you wake up with awareness.
