According to Osho, playfulness is a fundamental spiritual quality: it keeps the inner child alive, dissolves ego, breaks societal conditioning, and makes one unfit for domination, ambition, and borrowed ideals. A playful heart enjoys existence, laughs, rebels naturally, and lives by its own nature. Repressing playfulness breeds seriousness, deadness, and a shrunken life.
Being playful lets you stay real, happy, and free instead of being controlled by others’ rules.
