According to Osho, suffering is inseparable from lila—the divine play of life’s opposites. Joy and pain, gain and loss, life and death are complementary moves in a cosmic game seen differently from each vantage. Nothing is ultimately wrong; the play requires duality. By seeing all facets and accepting both nectar and poison, one outgrows identification with the drama and is moved beyond it—toward nirvana.
Pain and happiness take turns in a big game; when you see it as play and accept both, you cling less and suffer less.
