According to Osho, politicians in churidar pajamas—with drawstrings—are a comic image pointing to politics itself: in Delhi they’re busy undoing each other’s drawstrings, sabotaging rivals while clutching their own. He calls politics the filthiest game and uses this joke to warn us: scorch the inner seed of ambition and manipulation; only a mind free of politics becomes pure and receptive to the divine.
He jokes that leaders tug at each other’s strings to win, and tells you to stop that string-pulling habit inside yourself so you can stay clean and peaceful.
