According to Osho, feelings of hopelessness and sloth arise when the mind loses its borrowed certainties and condemns your growing innocence as “stupidity.” Don’t fight this; welcome unlearning. Let secondhand knowledge drop, watch the mind’s tricks, and return to childlike wonder. Direct experiencing (no‑mind) brings lightness, energy, and awe—the natural antidotes to heaviness, despair, and inertia.
Stop calling your new innocence “stupid,” drop secondhand ideas, and look at life with fresh eyes—your energy and hope will come back.
