Core Insight:
According to Osho, the Puranic tale of Bal-Mukund at pralaya reveals that creation and dissolution are happening now: all that is old, clever, and self-protective perishes, while only childlike innocence remains and seeds a new world. The child symbolizes egoless softness, trust, and fresh awareness; this unresisting openness alone survives collapse and continually renews life from moment to moment.
