According to Osho, enlightened beings live from truth as a living presence, not from rigid moral rules; thus even a “lie” may be a compassionate device to awaken others. Their actions arise spontaneously from awareness, judged by whether they serve consciousness and freedom—not by public piety or perfection. Enlightenment expresses authenticity, sometimes shattering idealized images to keep truth alive.
Awakened people act from deep awareness, so even if they sometimes ‘lie,’ it’s to help awaken others, not to deceive.
