Core Insight:
According to Osho, ignorance is the unknowing before knowledge, innocence is the freedom after knowledge. Both seem alike yet are utterly different: the child’s ignorance is vulnerable and destined to be seduced by knowledge, while the sage’s innocence is mature, having tasted and transcended knowledge. Therefore, don’t cling to naiveté—pass through experience, then drop mind-made knowing to regain childlike purity.
