What is the real world?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The real world is a non-dual existence where the sacred and the profane are inseparable; to truly see is to live without judgment, in innocent freedom."
According to Osho, the real world is non-dual: there is no essential difference between the sacred and the profane—‘Ram-Ram’ and wine, temple and tavern share the same value. Reality is what is, before judgment or division by the mind. To see this is to live innocently, choicelessly, and freely.
Everything is equally real and sacred when you drop judgments; temple and tavern are the same.
Why this matters practically
- Less guilt and hypocrisy; you act from awareness, not labels.
- Ends inner conflict between ‘holy’ and ‘worldly,’ creating wholeness.
- Invites presence: meet each moment freshly, without prejudice.
