According to Osho, Goethe is right: poverty, chastity, and obedience are three calamities that have crippled humanity. Especially obedience—disguised slavery—breeds mental retardation and provokes reactive disobedience. Rather than either pole, he urges intelligence: awareness-based understanding and self-chosen action. When explanations inform but never command, your own clarity decides, sharpening insight and restoring freedom, growth, and dignity.
Demands for poverty, no sex, and blind obedience harm people; Osho says use your own clear awareness to choose, not just follow or rebel.
