Ask Osho!

What should I do if my family does not appreciate my fondness for classical music?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Transform yourself; let others be. If your family cannot appreciate your passion, either immerse them in your joy or seek solitude to cultivate your own."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, don’t expect family to appreciate classical music—it demands a rare, cultivated sensitivity and years of inner and musical sadhana. Don’t blame them; you chose a troublesome path. Two remedies: either practice noisy Active/Kundalini Meditation so they themselves prefer your raga practice, or move to solitude where you can learn in peace. Transform yourself; let others be.
Most won’t get your music, so grow yourself, stop pushing them, and either make them prefer it with loud meditations or find a quiet place to practice.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces conflict by dropping unrealistic expectations and blame.
- Focuses energy on self-cultivation, not persuasion.
- Offers practical options: use loud meditation as leverage or choose solitude.
