Core Insight:
According to Osho, when one realizes truth, one becomes childlike in innocence and simplicity, yet appears foolish to the worldly mind. These are not two states but one: purity looks like idiocy to the crowd. The man of truth risks being deceived and mocked, stands alone against the majority, yet embodies real wisdom—Buddha-like, Zarathustra-like—seen as a child by the understanding and a fool by the ignorant.
