Ask Osho!

What is the practical form of the principles spoken by Mahavira, such as nonviolence, truth, celibacy, non-possession, and anekant?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Meditation is the seed from which the flowers of nonviolence, truth, and celibacy bloom effortlessly; practice the inner silence, and the principles will follow naturally."

Grow the wheat—meditation and inner peace—and the straw—kindness, honesty, simplicity, and open-mindedness—will come by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents hypocrisy and guilt from forced morality.
- Focuses practice: prioritize daily meditation/awareness; behavior aligns naturally.
- Yields stable virtues that endure under stress.
