Core Insight:
According to Osho, a true yogi is known by inner steadiness, balance, and freedom from desire—not by outer acts. Eating meat or drinking wine neither sanctifies nor defiles; craving does. When ego, lust, anger, and hope drop, actions lose their binding. Without awareness, even pilgrimages and penances are mere stomach-service; with awareness, ordinary acts are innocent and the state of nirvana is glimpsed.
