Core Insight:
According to Osho, if children grow up in a wholly free, loving, and unconflicted milieu, they would remain innocently harmonious but rarely become enlightened. Enlightenment needs a dialectic: innocence lost and consciously regained. Without the painful separation that awakens longing to return home, there is happiness without self-knowledge - childlike goodness, but not the conscious, celebratory wisdom of a Buddha.
