Core Insight:
According to Osho, Zen monks are “moonstruck” because enlightenment is like a full moon shining within; touched by that inner moon, they appear joyously mad to the world—gibberish first, then a vast silence. Their sacred “lunacy” breaks the mind’s grammar so the fragrance of being—peace, bliss, deathlessness—can descend. To be moonstruck is to carry this inner moon’s silence into every moment.
